That's great.

As I told you: Please do not hesitate to contact the Debian Med list in
case you think we might be able to help in packaging. I'd suggest you
commit your preliminary packaging to our repository and we might start
having a look into it. If you want to gain commit permissions you should
register on alioth.debian.org and then go to
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-med/
and follow the link on the bottom right to apply for becoming a member
of Debian Med team. If you commit your packaging stuff we migh be able
to work together and we might be able to take some hurdles.
Kind regards
Andreas.
