That's *really* appreciated!

Fine.

Did you created a new repository on collab-maint for this purpose?
It seems you did not used a clone of the packaging Git

   git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/ball.git

since I tried to

    git am 0001-Rework-patches-for-sid.patch

which resulted in several conflicts.  I wonder whether you could rather
commit to the official packaging repository.  To enable you doing this
I've added you to the Debian Med team.

Your work is really appreciated and very helpful.  Thanks a lot

    Andreas.
