Hi,

the Debian Med team proposes the following text for the Bullseye release notes:


<title>News from Debian Med Blend</title>

<para>The Debian Med team was involved into the fight against COVID-19
by packaging software to research the virus on sequence level as well
as fighting the pandemic with tools that are used in epidemiology.
The effort will be continued in the next release cycle with focus on
machine learning tools that are used in both fields.
</para><para>
Besides adding new packages in the field of life sciences and medicine
more and more existing packages received Continuous Integration support.
</para><para>
A range of performance critical applications now benefit from
<ulink url="https://wiki.debian.org/SIMDEverywhere">SIMD Everywhere</ulink>.
This library allows packages to be available on more hardware platforms
supported by Debian, notably on arm64, while maintaining the performance
benefit brought by processors supporting vector extensions, such as AVX on
amd64, or NEON on arm64.
</para><para>
To install packages maintained by the Debian Med team, install the
metapackages named med-*, which are at version 3.6.x for Debian Bullseye.

Please feel free to discuss / enhance this text (which is also available in
Git[1]).

Kind regards and thanks for working on the Debian release

Andreas.
