No problem; I know how that goes.

That's fair, though I will note for the record that the build system
adapts well to missing subtrees, as long as they weren't actually
necessary.

I had envisioned a package that would depend on ncbi-blast+ (or
ncbi-blast-plus if you insist) and just contain the necessary symlinks.
That said, such an approach would probably be excessive; instead, one
further possibility would be for the regular package to contain a
directory (/usr/lib/ncbi-blast+/bin, perhaps) containing such symlinks,
which users could then add to their PATHs as desired.
