[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#771154: plink: New major upstream version of plink

[Bob Dybian]

Package: plink
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
Plink2 [1] was just presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of
Human Genetics 2014 [2]. Plink2 is a comprehensive update of plink with new
algorithms and new methods, faster and less memory consumer than the first
plink. As it was not totally compatible with first plink [1], I propose to
create a new package to permit the cohabitation of these two versions (like for
bowtie and bowtie2). If you agree, I will submit it [3] on Alioth.

Best regards,
Dylan
