Dear Charles,

thank you for your kind email! I am sorry that it took me so long to

Thanks! :-) We achieved "highly accessed" status already, which is not
bad for a paper on a library.

We are trying to make a habit of mentioning debian in our publications
when it makes sense - I personally think that the effort that goes into
projects like debian-med should gain the scientific recognition it deserves.

Yes, thank you! We are integrating it upstream, but are currently in the
process of pushing out the next major release, so I have not yet updated
the packages.

Thanks again,
