FWIW here's usually what's going on when udeb-producing packages are blocked: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/06/msg00002.html > I believe KiBi is working on a d-i release, which is probably what you > are seeing.

There were no prior notices sent to -boot@ or -release@ this time because we seem to have enough Secure Boot pieces ready to get that tested widely. I advocated for putting that into a release instead of pointing to daily/weekly builds; hence the non ideal situation on the coordination level. In the past, I've personally vouched for a couple of packages that were hold up by D-I preparations; I'm fine with doing that again in case a reasonable update misses a deadline by a couple of days, due to a lengthy, general block-udeb (even though those are generally rather short, less than a week; until we get everything ready on the -boot and -cd side).
