Public bug reported:

[Availability]
Already in Ubuntu universe.
Builds and works for all supported architectures except i386 (i386 is not 
needed)
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-console

[Rationale]
- The package gnome-console is required in Ubuntu main to replace 
gnome-terminal as the default terminal emulator
- Package gnome-console covers the same use case as gnome-terminal but is more 
closely aligned with GNOME development.
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/proposal-gnome-console-as-default-terminal-app/28309

- The package gnome-console is required in Ubuntu main no later than
August 25 for Ubuntu 22.10 Feature Freeze

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past

- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install systemd services, timers or recurring jobs
- There is a standard GApplication service so that only one instance runs at a 
time, etc.
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many
  and long term critical bugs open
  - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-console/+bug
  - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=gnome-console
  - GNOME https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/console/-/issues

- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- There is an extremely minimal test suite. If it fails, the build fails.
  it makes the build fail, link to build log 
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/599103987/buildlog_ubuntu-kinetic-amd64.gnome-console_42~beta-2_BUILDING.txt.gz

- The package has a superficial autopkgtest. The package it is
replacing, gnome-terminal, does not have any autopkgtests.

[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works

- No Lintian warnings. lintian pedantic and info:
I: gnome-console source: superficial-tests
P: gnome-console source: maintainer-manual-page debian/kgx.1
P: gnome-console source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file src/logo.txt line 
8 is 875 characters long (>512)

- Lintian overrides are not present

- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies

- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
questions

- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules
https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/gnome-
console/-/blob/debian/master/debian/rules

[UI standards]
- Application is end-user facing, Translation is present, via standard gettext
- End-user applications that ships a standard conformant desktop file,

[Dependencies]
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be desktop-packages
- Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion

- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code

- The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last
  test rebuild

[Background information]
