Main Inclusion Report for migration-assistant

Requirements

1. Availability: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/migration-assistant, available for all supported architectures

2. Rationale:

   • Needed to import documents and settings from other operating systems as part of the MigrationAssistance spec.

   • Ubiquity needs it to be in main to support code that is going to be merged into Ubiquity.

3. Security:

   • Binary runs as root as part of debian-installer, but drops to a regular user almost immediately.
   • Does not open any port.

4. Quality assurance:

   • Package works out of the box without configuration.
   • The package asks questions at "high", but does so as part of debian-installer.
   • Active upstream.
   • Does not deal with exotic hardware which we cannot support.

5. Standards compliance:

   • Meets the FHS, Debian Policy

   • Standard debhelper packaging, standard patch system.

6. Dependencies:

   • libxml2-udeb will need to be promoted to main.
