Kudos from upstream ;)

For nipype, heudiconv -- I would really appreciate if debhelper compat
stays at least on the level supported by debian stable, to simplify
backports.  I am ok to close eyes on all those ubuntus which will start
lagging behind ;)

Some new minor release of heudiconv will likely to come within a week, I
will make sure to check first if a new packaging is available from
debian-med.

Cheers and thanks again
