Good point, we started the SRU process after 4.7.0 was released, but the time it took us to test the PPA and then the beginning of the patch pilot the noble released a minor version was released. We can do the new release, if that is preferred, but there were still patches that needed to be added for both noble and oracular due to the fact we only started testing dev release recently, and we discovered the issues, and the corresponding fixes. So, we'll see 2 patches for oracular and 1 for noble. If that is ok, then I can re-issue a new debdiff.

Alternatively, 4.7.2 is due to be released soon, which will have the relevant fixes included.

On the changelog items, I was following the previous maintainers, and didn't add the extra details. But, I am more than happy to change this here moving forward.

The "X-Python3-Versiom: >= 3.6" was added, as that is the version of python sos supports, and hence wanted to make that as a soft requirement. This would then change later in the year. But, if you think this is better added for the relevant series that we need to do this, like bionic, then happy to change it in that manner. We do plan to SRU for bionic, as that has caused a corner case of upgrade from xenial to bionic in the corresponding LP

Thanks for the "Suggests: python3-boto3" comment, happy to remove that, if it's pointless, was not 100% sure on. On noble, we now going to add that to Depends as this package is in main. I can add that on, and the reasoning.
