I can confirm that starting with the less challenging task to just add
software which is missing is quite easy and works like this:
1. Subscribe mailing list http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/
2. Read Debian Med policy which should be quite verbose how the
team is organised:
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html
3. Make sure you checked our tasks pages to avoid duplication of
effort:
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-dev
As you can see it lists also work in progress packages.
It would make sense to add the missing packages in your focus
so if you would name these including homepage and a description
I could add these
This is work we can start now. For the different version issue IMHO it
makes sense to answer the question on a case by case basis.
Kind regards
Andreas.
