Hi all, I agree with the implicit opinion of Steffen that teams should be given more responsability for "leaf packages", but anyway, we are so close to the release that it is not the best time to discuss how to acheive this empowerment. When backports will be an official Debian service, it may make more sense to release most scientific packages only as backports. This would decrease the workload of both teams, while keeping the Debian Med a 100 % Debian project.
