Thanks a lot for this effort.  I suggest we are using the official Debian
Logo and not any Debian Med one for the following reasons:

  1. There is no such thing like a Debian Med logo we have decided
     upon (despite we are using some logo on our tasks pages to have
     it more colorful)

  2. Once people might see some Debian Med logo / name they might
     imagine that's another derivative (I have experienced this zillions
     of times!)  The packages are in official Debian - so just let
     upstream point to official Debian package.

  3. While Debian is well know and I think more advertising for Debian
     will not harm at all.

Thanks again

      Andreas.
