Please pre-upload approve unblocking package debian-edu

[ Reason ]
We would like to make Debian Edu aware of the Lomiri Operating
Environment, so we can offer Lomiri as a desktop environment on
Debian Edu systems.

This upload will also include further minor changes / fixes:
  * Reference network-manager-applet instead of network-manager-gnome.
  * Install required software by certain Debian Edu installation profiles
    via education-* package recommendations rather than via cfengine3
    scripts in debian-edu-config src:pkg (counterpart upload is in prep).
  * Add sources.list.trixie (required for ISO image generation and
    blends-dev scripts).

[ Impact ]
This unblock request is mainly about whether the release team
acknowledges the debian-edu upload via NEW to get
education-desktop-lomiri added to the set of bin:pkgs provided by
debian-edu src:pkg.

If this gets rejected, we can live with it, but it would be really nice
to provide a tablet capable shell (i.e. Lomiri) in Debian Edu.

If the Lomiri integration gets rejected, we will provide an alternative
2.13.1 upload only including the minor changes / fixes listed above.

I suggest you do the upload with the minor changes to unstable, so they can
migratie fairly soon. Please remove the moreinfo tag from this bug once you
think it's ready.

Sorry, for this long delay. It has been a packed week with customer work.

I have now uploaded the non-lomiri-part to unstable as 2.13.2 (2.13.1 was missing the d/control update that is handled in blends via a generation script that I forgot to execute for the 2.13.1 upload).

For the new binary, I'm willing to consider it, but it needs to go trough NEW,
and it's already very late in the freeze, so I don't know if it will still be
possible.

I suggest you do a separate upload with the new binary to expirimental, so it
doesn't interfere with uploads to unstable. Once it's in experimental, we can
revisit it.

Ok. It is even later now, but I will prepare an exp upload and ask ftp-masters to process it quickly.

Thanks,
Mike
