That's perfectly fine. As a maintainer you are free to package what you need for your own work since this keeps you the most engaged to maintain it properly and up to date. When looking at its dependencies[1] I see two projects that do not sound familiar. It seems you need to package these first, right? > Also, I see there is a list of packages for > debian as a whole that need help, but is there one for med?

I have no idea at what page you are looking but I think the best overview can be obtained from the Maintainer dashboard[2] perhaps by adding the Debian Med maintainers list as maintainer[3]. There is quite some work to do left for any interested person. :-) Any you can try to scratch your own itch on any of these things - perhaps by announcing here what you want to do since you as a newcomer might not have the right feeling who usually touches what, There is some kind of "natural" sharing of the tasks. My most urgent endless issue is the stupid license issue of the aida part in libcolt-java were I expressed my deep frustration last time here[4]. The issue could either resolved by convincing the authors to drop the most boring clause in their license (GPL but not for military use) or to switch colt to a more recent replacement (which should be the technically better solution but costs some effort). In the consequence we could move beast into main which would bring back my motivation to work on this package. Kind regards Andreas.
