I'm fine with all your corrections (and updated Git accordingly).

Thanks a lot for the review

I'd recommend
  
The Debian Med team has been taking part in the fight against COVID-19

Is this

  by packaging software for researching the virus on the sequence level,
  and by fighting the pandemic with the tools used in epidemiology.

or
  by packaging software for researching the virus on the sequence level
  and for fighting the pandemic with the tools used in epidemiology.

The existing packages aren't adding new packages; we need something like

  Besides the addition of new packages in the field of life sciences and 
medicine,
  more and more existing packages have gained Continuous Integration 
support.

This sentence gets a bit sprawling.  Maybe turn the parenthetical
commas into em-dashes?  Or actual parentheses?

  This library allows packages to be available on more hardware platforms
  supported by Debian (notably on arm64), while maintaining the performance

This all looks good to me except that we're lowercasing "bullseye".

Oh, and httpsify that URL.

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Hi,

the Debian Med team proposes the following text for the Bullseye release notes:


News from Debian Med Blend

The Debian Med team was involved into the fight against COVID-19
by packaging software to research the virus on sequence level as well
as fighting the pandemic with tools that are used in epidemiology.
The effort will be continued in the next release cycle with focus on
machine learning tools that are used in both fields.

Besides adding new packages in the field of life sciences and medicine
more and more existing packages received Continuous Integration support.

A range of performance critical applications now benefit from
https://wiki.debian.org/SIMDEverywhere;>SIMD Everywhere.
This library allows packages to be available on more hardware platforms
supported by Debian, notably on arm64, while maintaining the performance
benefit brought by processors supporting vector extensions, such as AVX on
amd64, or NEON on arm64.

To install packages maintained by the Debian Med team, install the
metapackages named med-*, which are at version 3.6.x for Debian Bullseye.
Feel free to visit the
http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks;>Debian Med tasks 
pages
to see the full range of biological and medical software available in 
Debian.



Please feel free to discuss / enhance this text (which is also available in
Git[1]).

Kind regards and thanks for working on the Debian release

   Andreas.
