[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#225651: December

[Andreas Tille]

Hi everybody,

its really that simple to close a bug which I'm doing here without a line
of code closing my first bug in this mail after having checked that zstd
has hit backports and adding "882244-done at bugs.debian.org" to the list of
receivers of this mail.

Not all bugs are *that* simple to solve but **everybody** is kindly
invited to head for the simple ones right now.

We should definitely try to fix the serious ones - even if they are mostly
not that simple.

Definitely.

Pinging Aaron explicitly to refresh his statement given several years ago.
