I flipped a coin regarding commit metadata, feel free to `git format-patch` next time if you wish to have another mail address used there. https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/console-setup/-/commit/54ca641c9118cc7a099f806a30827e7c408f8d9c > We would be very grateful if a fixed release could land in trixie, as > this is a major blocker for our first-boot configuration of > installations with no desktop environment.

Looks like it deserves a slightly higher severity (bumped with this mail), and yes, that looks very much acceptable and desirable for trixie. No need to file an unblock request, I'll process it alongside other packages we need for d-i builds. Thanks for the offer though, appreciated.
