Re: Are follow-up steps for Lomiri desktop required?

3 weeks ago was already too late to ask for new binary packages per

OK, good to know.

I understand you consider the task ready for prime-time then, which
wasn't clear to me from skimming over the merge request.

OK.

I might get in touch with the release team regarding the prospective
addition of 1 to 2 tasks in tasksel, to get some feedback on their side.

If they're willing to accept it, we can do that. If they aren't, I'm not
going to fight the decision.

Thanks, sorry I got confused by guido+debian@ in Cc already… :/

Sure thing, that's why I asked in the first place!
