It was a pleasure. :-)  In case you might loose this mail you can always
to a web search for "Debian Med team policy" which shoud lead you to

  https://med-team.pages.debian.net/policy/#to-make-gbp-buildpackage-build-the-package-with-pdebuild

telling basically the same.

Surely any help is welcome.  I admit we even have some more C++ problems
pending in the team.  Just in case you might run out of challenges. ;-)

Kind regards
