Since you have enhanced the d/copyright file a lot it is better if we
re-upload to new. Its better if ftpmaster looks at the enhanced
d/copyright file instead of wasting time on an incomplete one. So if
you confirm you are ready with your editings (may be by simply doing
dch -i "Fixed changelog"
) I would upload this on top of the previous upload.

I checked since we have some packages with the string "fast" in the name
but I also did not found any work on this program.

To make things clear: MoM is not about finishing to help anybody but
rather to keep the motivation high for at least one month. I hope you
got the idea that asking questions here is perfectly fine.

Apropos bug reports. If you like you can also have a look at
http://bugs.debian.org/debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org
which lists all open bugs against bugs in Debian Med. Some of these
might be hard but some not to complicated. In case you might spot some
bug that you feel able to fix this could be another interesting lesson
how to contribute.
Kind regards and thanks for all your work
Andreas.
