[James Page <2046181@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[Summary]
Note: This package has previous been in Ubuntu main (at 1.30 - current is 1.31).

MIR team ACK
This does not need a security review (see aboive)

List of specific binary packages to be promoted to main:
- libparams-validate-perl

Notes:
The package should get a team bug subscriber before being promoted

[Rationale, Duplication and Ownership]
There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.
A team is committed to own long term maintenance of this package (Ubuntu Server) and its also team maintained in Debian.
The rationale given in the report seems valid and useful for Ubuntu

[Dependencies]
OK:
- no other Dependencies to MIR due to this
 - libparams-validate-perl checked with `check-mir`
 - all dependencies can be found in `seeded-in-ubuntu` (already in main)
 - none of the (potentially auto-generated) dependencies (Depends
   and Recommends) that are present after build are not in main
 - no -dev/-debug/-doc packages that need exclusion
 - No dependencies in main that are only superficially tested requiring
   more tests now.

Problems: None

[Embedded sources and static linking]
OK:
- no embedded source present
- no static linking
- does not have unexpected Built-Using entries

OK:
- not a go package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard
- not a rust package, no extra constraints to consider in that regard

Problems: None

[Security]
OK:
- history of CVEs does not look concerning
- does not run a daemon as root
- does not use webkit1,2
- does not use lib*v8 directly
- does not parse data formats (files [images, video, audio,
  xml, json, asn.1], network packets, structures, ...) from
  an untrusted source.
- does not expose any external endpoint (port/socket/... or similar)
- does not process arbitrary web content
- does not use centralized online accounts
- does not integrate arbitrary javascript into the desktop
- does not deal with system authentication (eg, pam), etc)
- does not deal with security attestation (secure boot, tpm, signatures)
- does not deal with cryptography (en-/decryption, certificates,
  signing, ...)

Problems: None

[Common blockers]
OK:
- does not FTBFS currently
- does have a test suite that runs at build time
  - test suite fails will fail the build upon error.
- does have a non-trivial test suite that runs as autopkgtest
- This does not need special HW for build or test

Problems: None

[Packaging red flags]
OK:
- Ubuntu does not carry a delta
- debian/watch is present and looks ok (if needed, e.g. non-native)
- Upstream update history is (good/slow/sporadic)
- Debian/Ubuntu update history is (good/slow/sporadic)
- the current release is packaged
- promoting this does not seem to cause issues for MOTUs that so far
  maintained the package
- no massive Lintian warnings (just lack of checking of openpgp signature)
- debian/rules is rather clean
- It is not on the lto-disabled list

Problems: None

[Upstream red flags]
OK:
- no Errors/warnings during the build
- no incautious use of malloc/sprintf (as far as we can check it)
- no use of sudo, gksu, pkexec, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (usage is OK inside
  tests)
- no use of user nobody
- no use of setuid / setgid
- no important open bugs (crashers, etc) in Debian or Ubuntu
- no dependency on webkit, qtwebkit, seed or libgoa-*

Problems: None
