I had assumed "official" was in more common usage. It seems like that's false. Since the cloud team uses that term, here's a bit of detail I can offer. The best doc that I know of is here: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/OfficialImages This tracks Steve's usage from earlier in the thread. The cloud team uses it like this too --- we probably got it from him, back when he was on the team. We also used to have DSA members on the team who seemed keen on the term. So while it doesn't appear in any foundational document, it does have traction amongst folks that are affected by these issues. That page describes itself as not final - but it's changed little since 2013. It doesn't offer an opinion on some of the issues being raised since it just says "the image includes only software available in Debian". Hope that's useful, Ross
