It looks nice. Many thanks.

Can do. But I would not mind if you took over.

This is something for the native folks, I presume. The "to support" was
meant to be read like "We hope the sun to shine". One could also say "We
hope the sun shines" or "will shine" but then this shall have an effect
also on the downstream parts of the sentence.
At about the same level of nit picking you could help the with
underlying a hyperlink to
[Debian Science](https://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/). And
rereading the sentence,
the folks unfamiliar with how Debian works may mistake us with upstream.
I hence propose to reformulate as
"The packages have been contributed by the [Debian
Science](https://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/) team."
Thank you tons
Steffen
