(Yes to RC2, maybe even RC3.)

I asked Jonathan on IRC while preparing RC1 (slightly edited):

    [ kibi] highvoltage: I don't think you answered my live-installer question?
    [ highvoltage] kibi: I didn't think it warranted an unblock
    [ highvoltage] kibi: but if it did for roland's changes then he could file one
    [ kibi] highvoltage: ok, ta

Besides the obviously missing `dch -r` call (“Mon, 15 Apr 2019” was
quite surprising for something uploaded in March 2023), there are lots
of changes that are nowhere suitable at this stage of the release
process.

That plus Jonathan's answer triggered my deciding against unblocking the
package on my own (with my d-i release manager hat). That being said, if
the release team is willing to unblock the package as is, that'd be fine
with me. I suppose it'll be suggested to cherry-pick the desired
change(s) and to upload 57+deb12u1 via tpu, or to back out the undesired
changes and proceed with 59 via unstable. (Both are fine from a d-i
point of view, as long as the package reaches testing in the end.)


Cheers,
