 The version number of debian-med metapackages was bumped to 1.99 as a

+this time at kitware) and Amul Shah (fisglobal).  Thanks to a fruitful
+cooperation between upstream FIS and Debian the build system of fis-gtm
+was adapted to enable a more easy packaging.
 
+The availability of fis-gtm will simplify running Vista-foia[2a] on
+Debian systems and we finally are working on packaging Vista as well
+to make Debian fit for running inside hospitals.

+============================
+
+A general inspection of all Debian Med packages was done to check all
+packages which were uploaded before the Wheezy release and never touched
+since then.  Those packages where checked for changed upstream locations
+which might have been hidden from uscan and in some cases new upstream
+releases were spotted by doing this investigation.  Other old packages
+were reuploaded with current policy conformity and packaging tools also
