we have discussed the reason why gpaw-setups (gpaw-data) should be shipped
by Debian.
The discussion starts here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2015/07/msg00033.html
I can add that the potentials included in gpaw-data can be also read by
Abinit.
I CC Michael Banck on this.

gpaw-data has been also decided during
https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2015/07/msg00033.html
I think this is because similar packages, abinit-data
quantum-espresso-data, used this naming convention.

OK thanks. There is a new GPAW release (just today), but this requires
python-ase-3.9.0 which
is not in Debian yet. gpaw-data (or gpaw-setups) stays the old one.
I think we just continue with GPAW-0.10.0 and make package update later.
