Severity: normal

Please unblock package debian-med

This is the usual update of Debian Med metapackages at the end (or
rather close to the end) of the release cycle.  Since we do not expect
severe changes in the package pool regarding packages that are relevant
for the Debian Med team this upload of the metapackages is reflecting
the package pool that is expected to be released with Stretch.

Please note:  Due to the creation method of the metapackages those
packages that were removed from testing were just "degraded" from
Recommends to Suggests.  In the usual maintenance process also packages
that were added to unstable also end up with Suggests since this is the
usual metapackage layout users are comfortable with.  While we are
aware that this avoids the "minimum change freeze policy" this feature
of metapackages was accepted in all previous release processes.

BTW, to enhance the overview about changes inside the dependency code in
a GSoC project code for automatic changelog generation was written to
possibly help the release team.  In the Debian Med case I unfortunately
forgot to activate this code.  It was activated in Debian Science which
on one hand has more verbose changelog on the other hand this might be
also considered "noise" (I had some unfortunately private discussion in
German about the sense of this).  I'd happily receive your hint what you
would like more - the current short Debian Med packages changelog or
the long Debian Science packages changelog which will be submitted in
the next bug report.

Kind regards and thanks for your work as release team

      Andreas.
