Thanks again Nilesh. I particularly wanted to get the future-proofing
customisation feature into bookworm, otherwise secret rotation could
have bricked the app.

Isn't this a catch 22? To become a Debian Maintainer I need to
demonstrate an established "history of contributions" [1], but a potential advocate
encourages me to make fewer contributions  :-)

Sincerely though, I understand every upload takes the valuable time of
stretched sponsors. I appreciate your help each time.

Kind regards
