Well, it seems with the provided patch it could work.

In Debian we have so called popularity contest that users can switch on
voluntarily - so the numbers are probably lower than the real usage.  We
also do not have numbers of Debian derivatives like Ubuntu and others.
Here you can see a graph of the popcon numbers:

The most important number of the current usage is vote (=67) which is
the number of people who use this package regularly (not just hanging
around unused on the hard disk).

When comparing with other packages maintained by Debian Med this would
have some bad influence on the workflow of several users.
