Preparing an actual release is what I've been thinking about for a while
now, and I'd rather avoid having a random upload in the archive until
then. If I'm reading between the lines correctly you'd like all of
*forky* to be debrebuild-able, so that wouldn't be about having an
updated d-i in sid only, but also in forky, and some coordination with
many other packages would be required, and I'd rather avoid imposing
that on the relevant maintainers if we're not actually ready to build a
release. Seeing the recent (over)flow of security updates… I really
don't want to be in the middle of it until I've got a plan. That would
mean getting in touch with the images team and I'm not sure I'm able or
willing to try and get something rolling before the upcoming (double)
point release early July…


Cheers,
