<title>Derivatives working together with Debian Med</title>
<para>
Debian Med is proud that derivatives (like for instance <ulinkurl="http://environmentalomics.org/bio-linux/">BioLinux</ulink>) are profiting from our work inside Debian and we try to establish strong connections to these derivatives. With BioLinux the connection is as strong that a common workflow was created where BioLinux developers are injecting their packaging straight into the Debian Med version control system. To make sure that there will be no conflicts with the Debian revisions some attention should be payed to the revision numbering. If the derivative is creating a new package (either from scratch or an upgraded version) it should get the version <code><upstreamversion>-0<derivativename><derivativerevision></code> (which is the versioning scheme usually used by Ubuntu).
