I remember that. I made some attempts at debian-mentors. In that time
I had some problems with packaging SIGAR. As far as I remember, that's
why InVesalius wasn't included in Debian-med. Now, InVesalius is not
using SIGAR anymore, we replaced it with python-psutils, which is
already packaged in Debian. But now InVesalius is using a library I
developed called Context aware smoothing [1], which is not package in
Debian. Temporarily, I hope, I packaged Context aware smoothing inside
the InVesalius package I created. To do that, I created a Makefile
which is responsible to download, compile and put the necessary files
at the right places in the InVesalius package. Yeah, it's an ugly
workaround. And because of that, I duplicated the work.
I've just requested to join Debian Med [2].

It sounds great to me. Yes, I'd like to.

They were very helpful.
