Thank you for the write-up.  Santiago, maybe we should add a link to
this thread to packages.yml, or something like that?  What do you think?

Cool, I will sponsor the upload, can you confirm the repository and
branch that you consider ready-to-go ?

Describes plenty of teams in Debian.
I like to think it means you don't spend time on things that are
not-really-nice-to-have-but-feel-like-they-are :)

When it's a matter of these major version transitions and you are close
to running out of time for the next stable release of Debian, I think
you could always get in touch with debian-lts@lists.d.o and there is a
good chance someone is available to help (me in this case).
