I know and I thank your for this and I really appreciate your work to also
maintain the Debian packages!

Did you files a bug report against emscripten? We might consider to use
some "COVID-19 relevant" text snippet in the title of the bug.

OK.

I moved the orphaned slicer Git archive from Science team to Med team and
did some automatic upgrade[4] and droped some hints in d/changelog for
volunteers grabbing that package. It needs to be re-introduced and probably
repackaged from scratch. (These upstream hints[5] migh be helpful in doing
so.)
I've turned all your hints into "code" - means I updated the covid-19 task[6]
Your hints are really appreciated and we really urgently need exactly this
kind of hints from other fields, namely Bioinformatics. I do not want to
blindly move the while bio task into covid-19. So please help!

Other hints are really welcome.
Thanks a lot
Andreas.
