Hi,

I'm at the Debian Med sprint and currently taking a look at various 
things to take care of.

The lineages and the URL you mention are referenced as the "datasets" so 
that seems to be the license statement.
Consequently I guess including them in the package for the autopkgtest 
is not an option as the ND clause in their license is incompatible with 
DFSG. We might still download one of them at autopkgtest time but I am 
not sure that's a good idea. Any comments?

Best
Sascha
