Hi again,
you are now member of the Debian Med team. I forgot to give a hint to the
Debian Med policy
https://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html
which gives you some more hints about packaging in the team. Please be
careful - we just moved from the old development platform to Salsa and
there might be outdated information since there was no review yet.
I'm a bit offline-ish these days - so please ask any question here on
the list if you have some trouble.
Welcome in the team
Andreas.
