I've sent a separate mail about this some minutes ago. You see me
totaly astonished anyway since I was so sure that no package with
relevance for bioinformatics could escape my eyes. I'm also wondering
who sponsored your packages since this sponsor should have contacted
Debian Med as well.

OK. Thanks for this helpful information.

Ahh. Thanks for the hint. What would be really important for the
packaging is that you tag your releases. I would point a watch file to
Github releases which simplifies noticing new versions.

As saif above: Github is fine but tagging the releases would be really
important.
Kind regards
Andreas.
