"Having in both" is the wrong expression. Debian Med is pure Debian and
thus we bring the package into official Debian and it is available for
all users in medicine and neuroscience. You might like to understand
the idea of Debian Pure Blends[1].
The actual Debian Med policy describes some conventions and workflows we
have agreed upon inside the packaging team. I somehow have the feeling
that it might create less work for you if you follow the advise of
Yaroslav and he might sponsor the package. However, in case NeuroDebian
people might face some time constraints I'd happily work as fallback for
the final push to the Debian mirror. We have some record of teaching
people inside our team[2] and considering, that the packaging status
looks quite advanced I see no problem to finalise the process.

You are welcome
