[Bug 1664746] Re: Request for sponsorship for new upstream release (zesty deb provided)

[Jeremy Bicha]

Mattia, thanks for subscribing me.

Francesco, I had intended to email you when I did the merge from Debian
but it looks like I forgot. I apologize!

The Debian maintainers likely aren't interested in the new version right
now since Debian is frozen and I believe Mike Gabriel is really busy.

The only thing Ubuntu currently does differently from Debian is override a bunch of settings, so I have two suggestions.
1. Can some of those settings just be changed upstream?

2. Could you use standard gsettings overrides instead of /etc/ configuration?
Take a look at the ubuntu-settings package for what I'm talking about.
It might make sense to move the remaining onboard overrides to the ubuntu-settings package. That would allow the onboard package to be synced with Debian once they package the new version.

I understand that Feature Freeze is very soon and I apologize again for
not talking to you sooner. If there's not time to change the settings as
I suggested, that's fine and can be done later.
