Perhaps the Vector NTI alternative GENtle ( http://gentle.magnusmanske.de/ ) could be packed for SciBuntu? The proprietary Vector NTI has been an important tool for basically every molecular biologist due to its free academic licence. Recently, Invitrogen has however changed its licencing terms for the next version and lots of scientists are quite angry...

I feel that GENtle is quite mature and nice (although would need some more attention from wherever it may come and has room for improvements). From a selfish perspective, I hope that a greater exposure of this program might attract developers and improve it to the benefit of all.
