[Debian-med-packaging] haskell transition: qiime makes qiime uninstallable?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I admit I did not followed the previous discussion but from my
perception there is no big harm done if qiime would be removed from
kfreebsd-i386 if this is the simplest (in terms of causes the less
work) solution.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
