Surgebase is the old name for the Dataence implementation.  I'm not sure
what's up with the name change, and am inclined to deploy a symlink
allowing imports under either name.  ncbi-entrez-direct looks for this
library under the surgebase path, so I'll need to accommodate the
formal discrepancy on one side or the other.

That said, I suppose it is best to leave off the specific performance
numbers.  I generally just cribbed the description from the first
paragraph of README.md with minimal cleanup; as I noticed shortly after
hitting Send, I even accidentally left English uncapitalized.  I'll
clean the description up properly before uploading.

Please feel free to send a patch for consideration. ;-)

Thanks!

I X-Debbugs-Cc:ed pkg-go-maintainers (and debian-med) as a courtesy, in
addition to debian-devel; the copy routed through pkg-go-maintainers
evidently reached you first.  I'm now openly copying both specialized
lists, and leaving -devel off.

I appreciate your feedback regardless.
