We've just spoken for a while in IRC how to proceed with this and had
"invented" a plan of action, which was a bit different, but anyway, your
proposal is much better. Thanks for this!

So, in this case, there is no need for an extra puppet-termini package,
right?

All in all, I really like your proposal.

Two (minor) notes:

  - I'm wondering if d/NEWS should be extended giving an example how to
    do the export and import.

  - This should be documented in the stretch release / upgrade notes.

Thanks again,

Georg
