[Debian-med-packaging] Moving packages under the -med umbrella

Hi,

I intent to move some packages under the -med umbrella. All of them are
in Git repositories on alioth. Looking through the policy I think they
would not violate something, but I'd like to get some feedback if there
is something obvious that I am missing -- which might cause some work
before it can move into -med.

Good example packages are odin and via:

http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/odin.git
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/via.git

The most important thing that comes into my mind is that I do not use
the /debian-only packaging approach but have the full source in Git
(no need to discuss the reasons). Moreover, I prefer git
feature-branches over quilt and friends. The purpose of the branches is
explained on the gitweb pages linked above.

Are these things acceptable for -med?

TIA,

Michael
