Title:
  [MIR] libayatana-appindicator

Status in libayatana-appindicator package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  * Availability

  It's available on the Ubuntu supported architectures
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/0.5.5-2

  The package is in sync with Debian

  * Rationale

  The source is a community maintained replacement for our current
  libappindicator. Debian has transitioned and we plan to follow their
  lead now, demoting libappindicator to universe until we can remove it
  from the archive.

  The binary to promote is libappindicator3-1

  The request is low priority, it's a target of opportunity transition,
  it doesn't need to land this cycle

  * Security

  There is no known security issues

  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libayatana-appindicator
  https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/libayatana-appindicator.html
  https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libayatana-appindicator

  * Quality assurance

  The desktop team is going to subscribe to the package

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/+bugs
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libayatana-appindicator

  The source depends on some outdated libraries but that's because there
  are still old applications needing it, that's already the case with
  our libappindicator so not a change of status

  The package enables upstream tests during the build but some are currently failing (and the Debian package doesn't stop the build on errors), that has been reported to Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982845 and needs to be resolved before promotion
  The package doesn't provide autopkgtests, which has been reported to Debian . That's not a regression compared to our current libappindicator

  Update, the tests issue has been resolved in Debian and Impish now

  * Dependencies

  Package: libayatana-appindicator3-1
  Depends: libayatana-indicator3-7 (>= 0.6.0), libc6 (>= 2.4), libdbusmenu-glib4 (>= 0.4.2), libdbusmenu-gtk3-4 (>= 0.4.2), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3), libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.0.0)

  libayatana-indicator3-7 is currently in universe and bug #1915693

  * Standards compliance

  current 4.5.1 standards-version, debhelper compat 13, dh style simple
  rules

  * Maintenance

  Upstream is active, the package is maintained in Debian and desktop
  team is going to sign up for Ubuntu
