OK, that seems to be important information I need to take over into debian/rules file.

Full freeze is actually the date when absolutely no new code is allowed and only Release Critical bugs can be fixed.  Unfortunately we do not know when we manage to fix all those RC bugs.  Usually we say "Debian is ready when its ready." (== no RC bugs any more).  I'm optimistic that for this release it does not take that long but adding two months to that data is quite a safe bet - not before unfortunately.

The upstream source code of Bowtie2 is at

    https://github.com/BenLangmead/bowtie2

the Debian packaging of this source code is at

    https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/bowtie

which incorporates a copy of the **released** source code + debian/ dir containing the packaging.

Your can even sent an e-mail to control at bugs.debian.org - please
checkout the docs about basic formatting guidelines.  No real need
to install Debian.

Kind regards, Andreas.
