Sure, considering that MIA actaully started with a focus on neurological research :) Regarding backports, the limitation is g++ >= 4.6 (because of its use of c++0x), if I see this correctly, debian stable is on g++4.4.
   libnlopt
http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/NLopt
(A required library that doesn't seem to be in debian yet),
seems needing an update in Debian, since upstream has 2.3 while Debian
carries 2.2.4+dfsg-2 . I have filed a wishlist bugreport against the
package
Great, I didn't know that it's already in sid.
   vistaio
a modified version of the vista library that only provides IO
functions with some added data types. (a replacement for
libvista2-dev: 
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/imaging-dev#prospective-debs
)

hm... were those changes sent upstream to vistaio developers or they
cannot be generally adopted upstream?
Well, technically I am now "upstream", as you can see from the URLpointing at mia in the description given in the link above. There is a somewhat unfortunate problem of code duplication with libvia though. Both libraries libvia, and vistaio are forks from the vista library. libvia diverged from Vista by including more algorithms, and vistaio diverged by adding more data types and throwing all parts away that are not related to pure IO and data handling and making it compile with MSVC.

I just had a look at the two code bases and I'm afraid that merging is not an viable option and there is still too much overlap in names that linking both together in one executable may pose a problem. I'm not sure how to deal with such a problem, maybe I'll just rename all function and structures to carry a Vistaio prefix.
   pymia
partial python bindings for the mia libraries, the package supports
only one python version, this would probably need to be fixed.
ideally -- yes
This is certainly something where I would need some help, but first I will read more documentation.

apt-get install debian-policy
Actually, I was looking for the debian-med policy page to learn about the proper algorithm for package submission.

for me debian.org is live and beating
Yes, now it's up again.


Best
