I do not think that this is needed (I never use these uptions). You
might like to check again in Debian Med policy - perhaps by seeking for
the string gbp - specifically the paragraph
"To make gbp buildpackage build the package with pdebuild."

Sounds good. Just feel free to keep on asking if a question might arrise.
Chances are good that some other helpful member of the team might answer.
I've found another candidate package lacking a test suite which you
might like to takle right after bwa. I just updated prodigal and in
preparation of your work moved the packaging from SVN to Git. The doc
contains the hint:
prodigal -i my.genome.fna -o my.genes -a my.proteins.faa
prodigal -i my.metagenome.fna -o my.genes -a my.proteins.faa -p meta
So your task would be to find such my.* files, provide these for the
package and run the commands as a test suite.

That's fine. Just make sure your classes have preference over this GSoC
project. From my point of view the advantage of this specific project
over others I was working in as a mentor is that you have quite small
chunks of work which can be finished step by step.
Kind regards
Andreas.
