Yes, stable-backports is required to have this package in testing.

I admit I'm not very deep in these tags - thus feel free to pick the proper one. Thanks a lot for your comments and for your work on the release notes Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

"Have been" added, and I think it works better as As in every release new packages have been added in the fields of medicine and life sciences. > The new package shiny-server might be worth extra mentioning The new package shiny-server might be worth a particular mention, (Or "might be particularly worth mentioning", among other options.) > since it simplifies scientific web applications using R.

It's not clear whether this means that you maintained the effort and as a result got CI support or whether CI support is something you already had that you kept going. Maybe: We also kept up the effort to provide Continuous Integration support for the packages maintained by the Debian Med team. > > The Debian Med team is continuously interested in feedback from users > specifically in the form of requesting the packaging of not yet packaged > free software or backports from new packages or higher versions in > unstable. > This needs at least one extra comma; maybe even: The Debian Med team is always interested in feedback from users, especially in the form of requests for packaging of not-yet-packaged free software, or for backports from new packages or higher versions in unstable.

Bug#1036776: release-notes: Release notes paragraph from Debian Med team
Package: release-notes Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-...@lists.debian.org Please add the following patch from the Debian Med team to the release notes: News from Debian Med Blend As in every release new packages in the field of life sciences and medicine were added. The new package shiny-server might be worth extra mentioning since it simplifies scientific web applications using R. We kept on to get Continuous Integration support for the packages maintained by the Debian Med team. The Debian Med team is continuously interested in feedback from users specifically in the form of requesting the packaging of not yet packaged free software or backports from new packages or higher versions in unstable. To install packages maintained by the Debian Med team, install the metapackages named med-*, which are at version 3.8.x for Debian bookworm. Feel free to visit the https://blends.debian.org/med/tasks;>Debian Med tasks pages to see the full range of biological and medical software available in Debian. Kind regards Andreas.
