Can all of the bio-* packages be made available in the repository as 
source packages?  We will need to rebuild those packages for Debian if 
you move to Ubuntu. The availability of source packages will also enable 
us to update packages to slightly more recent versions as the need arises, 
without us building the packages from scratch.

I've tried adding the following repository:

deb-src http://envgen.nox.ac.uk/bio-linux/ unstable bio-linux

but no joy. 

We currently install the bio-linux packages on a shared service used 
by many departments, and changing to Ubuntu isn't an option for us.

Best Regards,

Clive.
