[Debian-med-packaging] Please check hmmer2 autopkgtest

[Joshua Marshall]

Ed made some design decisions which don't make a ton of sense for
software.  While the stated purpose of the programs is the same, they
actually offer different sets of functionality.  My initial introduction to
them, interpro scan, actually needed to use both versions because of this
feature split.  I wouldn't trust my branch right now.  Each time I went in
to fix or patch something up, it broke multiple other things.  I don't have
a good answer for you.  I have HMM code ready for testing, but it requires
C++20 features which I'm also having to implement and doesn't have the CLI
wrapping or trained model yet.

Let me muck around with it tonight and get back to you.  I may be able to
patch it to a stable enough state where you can use it.  I remember leaving
it fairly close to usable.
