[Availability]
The package wsdd is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package wsdd build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 as a python arch-all package
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wsdd

[Rationale]
- The package wsdd is required in Ubuntu main for enabling win10 shares discovery in nautilus.
- The package wsdd will generally be useful for a large part of our user base
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
  should go universe->main instead of this.
- The binary package wssd needs to be in main to achieve shares enumeration in gvfs/nautilus. We don't plan to install wssd-server which will stay in universe.
- The package wsdd is required in Ubuntu main no later than August 15th due to Oracular feature freeze.

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does install an user service which is going to be started by the corresponding gvfs backend
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
- Package does not expose any external endpoints
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does
  only has a wishlist request open in Debian and minor bugs upstream
  - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wsdd/+bug
  - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=wsdd
  - Upstream's bug tracker, https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/issues
- The package has no important open bugs
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
TOFIX: we need to enable the upstream tests as part of the package build
TODO-A: - The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
TODO-A: it makes the build fail, link to build log TBD
TODO-B: - The package does not run a test at build time because TBD

TOFIX: we need to enable some autopkgtests
TODO-A: - The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
TODO-A: this TBD list of architectures, link to test logs TBD
TODO-B: - The package does not run an autopkgtest because TBD

TODO-A: - The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now
TODO-B: - The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
TODO-B: they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
TODO-B: ok because TBD

[Quality assurance - packaging]
TOFIX: write a debian/watch for the package
TODO-A: - debian/watch is present and works
TODO-B: - debian/watch is not present, instead it has TBD
TODO-C: - debian/watch is not present because it is a native package

- debian/control has a valid Maintainer definition

- This package only has minor lintian warnings

- Lintian overrides are not present

- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies

- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf questions

- Packaging and build is easy, https://salsa.debian.org/grantma/wsdd/-/blob/master/debian/rules

[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)

[Dependencies]
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

[Maintenance/Owner]
- The owning team will be desktop-packages and I have their acknowledgement for that commitment
- The future owning team is already subscribed to the package

- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
- This package is not rust based

- The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last test rebuild
