Thanks a lot for your feedback.

It makes things tricky as compared to dealing with Canonical, Red Hat, etc. Perhaps a system integrator like HPE could over take that role, but I assume they would have done so already if they wanted to.

I absolutely agree to both statements (tricky without some system
integrator and if some integrator would be interested this would have
happened).

ACK, this might be interesting to have for Debian.  We just need someone
who wants to (realiably) do this.
 
Kind regards
   Andreas.
