I am doing that for those cases that upstream is also the maintainer of the Debian package. For Debian Med this has happened a few times now. Fairly often there are researchers offering Debian packages already and just did not have a contact with the community yet. They should be helped. We help with consultancy and in bringing the packaging up to what the latest policy says, sponsor, and if the developer is interested in maintaining future uploads of his upcoming releases, so he should.
