Concern was voiced that this proposal may sound like a call to maintainers
to enable all these features directly. This was not our intention. At this
point we mostly want to introduce the available solutions. Whether there
will be an archive-wide global pre-selection of features and with which
features will of course depend on the testing of the respective maintainers
and discussions on debian-devel. Please participate in the discussion
if you're intested in that matter.
