[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1100037: ncbi-blast+: missing commands (blastn_vdb, etc.)

[Patrice Duroux]

Package: ncbi-blast+
Version: 2.16.0+ds-6+b1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Since 2.13.0 NCBI BLAST+[1] provides the following tools (blastn_vdb,
tblastn_vdb) and maybe also some others (blast_vdb_cmd, blast_formatter_vdb)
which I currently found in the upstream ncbi-blast-2.16.0+-x64-linux.tar.gz
Moreover, all these VDB tools are not mentionned as excluded in the README.Debian

Would it be possible to package them?

Regards,
Patrice
