I've experimental with GitLab pages, initially using a branch in the
website repository, but that creates a website under:

 https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/website/
To not need the website path in the URL as separate repository has been 
created named specifically for GitLab pages:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net 

The content of the public directory is published via:

 https://debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net/


What needs to be done to get Gitlab pages at all and this shortcut
specifically?  I'd love to do this for Debian Med as well.
Create a repository with the pages domain name as the repository name, as mentioned above. 

In your case that would be:

 https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/med-team.pages.debian.net
Then configure a .gitlab-ci.yml to deploy the public directory in the repository.
All the Debian GIS repository are configured to use debian/.gitlab-ci.yml instead of the default .gitlab-ci.yml (in the root of the repository), this avoids triggering the CI for upstream projects that include a .gitlab-ci.yml in their source (e.g. postgis & librttopo). This is why the debian-gis-team.pages.debian.net repository has the CI config in the debian directory instead of the repo root like the Perl team has. 

Kind Regards,

PS. I've made you Owner of the debian-gis-team since you were an Admin on Alioth, so I'm not the single point of failure.
