At this point in time we're just waiting on the package to make it through the NEW queue -- nothing more to be done right now. Hopefully it won't be too much longer, but I can't predict when that will be. If it gets to be within a couple months of the bookworm freezes beginning, I'll probably ping the ftpmasters to see if they could prioritize looking at it, so that there would be sufficient time for LXD to be in unstable and get some testing prior to transition freezes kicking in. Also, I've got the LXD 5.0.1 update staged locally, so once LXD passes NEW there will be a pretty quick update to the latest LTS version. Mathias
