[Debian-med-packaging] biosig4c++ packaging in debian

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Alois,

sorry for the long delay.  Your messages droped in at DebConf20 time when
I was concentrated on other things and afterwards it went somehow out of
sight.

I hope I made clear that the package needs to pass the Debian new queue
again due to the source package change and the additional binary.  But I
hope that it will pass quickly and impatient users might use your local
mirror meanwhile. 

For your packaging: Not all packages are simultaneously installable
since the manpage /usr/share/man/man1/mexSLOAD.1.gz is contained in the
two packages biosig-tools and octave-biosig.  I have fixed this in
5dada4620bc19ae4891e7e536f8835353b8826ad .

A hint for you as upstream was given by lintian:

I: biosig-tools: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/save2gdf occurence occurrence
I: libbiosig3: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbiosig.so.3 ambigous ambiguous

I also reviewed debian/copyright due to the changed locations of some
files.

I've uploaded the package to new and as I said hope that it will be
processed quickly.

Thanks a lot for your work on this

      Andreas.
