I never used Ubuntu but I have heard that there is a way to report bugs
right to Debian from a running Ubuntu machine. This link looks a bit
aged but it was top ranking in my web search:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/reportbug
> Oh, and is there a page somewhere to check on the release schedules (like freeze dates)? Maybe I can leave myself a note to check in with you at more appropriate times
This page names freeze dates:
https://release.debian.org/bullseye/freeze_policy.html
The release date (after which we can start uploading new versions again)
is not yet fixed. Here is the latest information about the status
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2021/05/msg00000.html

There was relatively little work to get it there (as listed below) but I wonder if we can get that added to your packaging flow.

The trickiest is the wxPython package - it seems you had provided a wxPython package as part of the installation but I think it didn't have all the dylibs it needed. I was able to fix that on this version of python/ubuntu by installing forcing a new install of a wheel as below. Wheels aren't available for all *nix versions though so building is the right thing to do. I think I have a setup on GitHub that reliably builds it now so I can probably help there.
