Hi Andreas

I'm sorry but I won't be able to take over those packages.

I don't expect there to be anything specially tricky about them
though, they're pretty standard perl distributions.  Both of them have
both perl 5 modules and programs which might need to split into two
debian packages.  Here's some notes from my side (I helped preparing
the bioperl releases):

* Bio-DB-SeqFeature is depependent on Bio-DB-GFF (I have this on my
  personal notes but I'm looking at the code now and I think this is
  incorrect).

* Bio-DB-GFF is dependent on Bio-DB-BioFetch.  Bio-DB-BioFetch is also
  not packaged in Debian.

Let me know if there's issues I may be able to help with.
