Comment 0 for bug 2023366

[Availability]
The package boot-managed-by-snapd is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package boot-managed-by-snapd build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architetcures: amd64, arm64
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd

[Rationale]
 - The package boot-managed-by-snapd is required in Ubuntu main for subiquity so that when the user does a hybrid install, it installs the replacement package.
 - The package boot-managed-by-snapd will generally be useful for a large part of
   our user base
 - The package boot-managed-by-snapd is a new runtime dependency of package subiquity that
   we already support
 - There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
   should go universe->main instead of this.
 - There is no definitive deadline, but it would be great and useful for testing testing of the canary iso to have the
   package boot-managed-by-snapd in Ubuntu main (the sooner the better).

[Security]
 - Because this package new (exists since May 2023) there is
   no security history at all.
 - no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
 - no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
 - Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
 - Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
TODO - Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
 - The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
 - The package is new and does not have too any open bugs
   - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/+bug
 - The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
 - The package does not run a test at build time because it contains
   autopkgtests that test for regressions when in proposed.
 - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently not passing because of unmet dependencies on:
   - mantic arm64: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-mantic/mantic/amd64/b/boot-managed-by-snapd/20230605_154742_4fb6d@/log.gz
   - mantic amd64: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-mantic/mantic/arm64/b/boot-managed-by-snapd/20230605_155040_4fb6d@/log.gz
TODO: How does Foundations plan to fix this?
 - This package is minimal and will be tested implicitly together with the canary ISOs, details about this testing are here TODO

[Quality assurance - packaging]
 - debian/watch is not present because it is a native package
 - debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
 - This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
 - Recent build logs of the package <TBD>
   - mantic amd64: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/1/+build/26277455
   - mantic arm64: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/1/+build/26277456
 - Lintian overrides are not present
 - This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
 - This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies
 - The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
   questions higher than medium
 - Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules:
   https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boot-managed-by-snapd/tree/debian/rules

[UI standards]
 - Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)

[Dependencies]
 - No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

[Standards compliance]
 - This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

[Maintenance/Owner]
 - Owning Team will be Foundations
TODO: - Team is already subscribed to the package
 - This does not use static builds
 - This does not use vendored code
 - This package is not rust based
 - The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last
   test rebuild

[Background information]
- The Package description and included README explains the package well
