AFAICT, it's all properly at https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/ncbi-blastplus.

Yes, per https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK131777/, the upgrade to
2.10.0 changed the default database version (controlled by makeblastdb's
-blastdb_version flag) from 4 to 5, causing some output files to change
names (and formats):

*.nsd -> *.nnd
*.nsi -> *.nni
*.psd -> *.pnd
*.psi -> *.pni

Thanks for checking!

BTW, python-biopython's build dependency on emboss reminded me that
emboss-data is still probably overkill for emboss(-lib)'s needs and
could stand to be split up (#682042).
