= Main Inclusion Report for network-console =

== Requirements ==

 0. ''Availability:'' http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/network-console, available for all supported architectures
 0. ''Rationale:''
  * Useful for installation on slow serial console hardware: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/sparc64-installer
 0. ''Security:''
  * No [[http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=network-console|CVE entries]].
  * No [[http://secunia.com/search/?search=network-console|Secunia history]].
  * Runs as root since it's part of the installer.
  * Configures and starts `sshd`, thereby opening port 22 in the installer; queues installation of `openssh-server`, thereby opening port 22 after installation.
  * Source code review:
 0. ''Quality assurance:''
  * Package works out of the box without configuration.
  * Asks for a password at debconf priority 'critical', and includes installer workflow at priority 'critical'.
  * No showstopper [[http://bugs.debian.org/src:network-console|Debian bugs]].
  * Good [[http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/network-console.html|maintenance in Debian]].
  * Native Debian package.
  * Does not deal with exotic hardware which we cannot support.
 0. ''Standards compliance:''
  * Not required to meet FHS or Debian Policy as it is part of the installer. Meets normal conventions for udebs.
  * Standard debhelper packaging; no patch system.
 0. ''Dependencies:''

  * `openssh-server-udeb` binary needs to be promoted; source already in main.
