I am doing that for those cases that upstream is also the maintainer of the Debian
package. For Debian Med this has happened a few times now. Fairly often there are
researchers offering Debian packages already and just did not have a contact with the
community yet. They should be helped. We help with consultancy and in bringing the
packaging up to what the latest policy says, sponsor, and if the developer is interested
in maintaining future uploads of his upcoming releases, so he should.
