Hi! Due to me being busy with a house move for a couple of months, I honestly didn't corral the wsdd and wsdd-server packages into testing through the release process, even though I did fix the bugs that caused it to be removed in a timely fashion. The packages are used by Gnome 48 to browse Windows networks for machines, and to announce a machine to Windows on a LAN. There has been some consternation about them going missing from the stable release, as a version did make it into Bookworm. These packages are far more reliable than the wsdd2 package, and work properly with IPv6 unlike wsdd2 - correct me if I'm wrong. I'm the package maintainer, so I can maintain the backport. Do I need someone else to sponsor the package as well? Thank you! Matt Grant
