All looks good except for one formality -- Lintian considers your
additions to debian/copyright to be incomplete:

W: ncbi-tools6 source: missing-field-in-dep5-copyright license (paragraph at line 16)

address myself.)

Ah, got it.  No test needed here, then.

No problem; thanks for the tests!

I'll do it myself, thanks, adding a few other small changes along the way.
