Awesome, thanks a lot! You did a really great job with integrating
ostree as a package with Debian, I didn't get that far back then when
working on it.
The package currently seems to have vanished from the archive index
pages, I guess it's just a temporary glitch...

Sounds good :) My idea would be a new team for bundled-apps, since
there's quite some software belonging into that category... (Maybe
something AppStream would fit in too)
But for now, I think, adding another team just to add another team is
useless if it's just us two working on it, so we can add a new team
when it's actually needed :-)
Thanks again for working on this!
Cheers,
Matthias
