I admit I have no idea how I can technically move a repository.  Since I
do not have permission to remove from neurodebian-team I doubt that any
move is possible.  Thus I simply forked.  I agree with you that it would
be better to inform the user directly.  I was simply trusting that any
user of the repository would read out the current Vcs-Git fields from
unstable - but I agree with you that its not sure that every user will
do this.

In any case the old repository is now lagging behind the new one in
med-team.  That's the worst situation while your suggestion to simply
drop a README there would be the best.  Simply removing it and let users
seek in case they do not find anything is somewhere inbetween those two
situations. ;-)

Kind regards

       Andreas.
