The Debian packages are maintained by me.  I am an alumnus of the MNI
and, though never a core developer, did contribute to maintaining
MINC.

The intent is that you can install those packages rather than
compiling MINC, yes.  Bicpl is not included.

One caveat is that currently MINC version 1.4 is packaged, and not the
newer 2.0 series.  I gather that version 2 is considered stable now,
so I think I'll package it soon.
