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.
