Dear Support,

I apologize for bothering you with a simple question.

I have several legacy systems (old) that I am installing Debian onto.  I
also wish to install other packages (Kicad, Freecad, Mercurial, Gmsh, and
Qucs).  I like using the apt-get installation procedure so I want to be
sure to download the package suitable for this.  Could you confirm which of
the many downloads match my criteria?  Thank you so much!!!  You do a
wonderful job!

Dear John,

This is a question probably better asked on debian-user mailing list rather 
than debian-project which is used for formal announcements.

Kicad, freecad, mercurial, gmsh are all currently available in Debian 8
(jessie).

Qucs is not available as far as I can see - the upstream project website
has details of a possible maintainer to contact, however.

Copying directly to you - against the normal ettiquette of Debian lists -
because I'm unsure whether you are subscribed to the list.

All the very best,

Andy C.
