That's good to hear the new package addresses your need.

wsdd is currently in Debian New for manual review. We won't be able to sync it into Ubuntu until that process is finished; if it finishes sufficiently prior to the Feature Freeze for 22.04 (in a few weeks) there might be a chance to import the package into universe.

However, to make this a dependency for Samba would require wsdd be in main, which requires also going through Ubuntu's security review process - aka Main Inclusion Review (MIR) - which is currently pretty heavily backlogged.

So you're probably right that time may be too short for including this in focal/main. 22.10 may be a more realistic objective for inclusion with Samba.

Thanks again for pushing this feature and tackling the testing. Let's see how things develop in Debian.
