Control: tag -1 patch pending Hi,

I settled for a logo_installer.ini (logo_debian.ini for us, plus a
symlink via the Makefile, as it is done for the logo files themselves):
[banner]
# supported values: left, right
label-position = right
# supported values: left, right, both
expand-direction = both
See: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/rootskel-gtk/-/commit/306e00e96b
I'm not entirely the current expand-direction is the best for Bookworm:
- Setting it to “right” would accentuate the strange rendering on the
right (since repeating the last 1-px column hadn't been anticipated).
- Setting it to “both” pushes “debian 12” towards the center without
really centering it, so it could be considered less appealing than
keeping in on the left.

cdebconf-gtk now defaults to right and both (respectively). This is
totally arbitrary, and as noted in the changelog: the theme should
provide an up-to-date metadata file so that we never have to touch
cdebconf's code (or default banner settings) again.

I'd call that mergeable at it is. I've pushed the cdebconf side directly
to master. Since rootskel-gtk's master branch contains old changes that
have never been uploaded to the archive, and since I don't feel like
taking responsibility for them at this stage, I've forked a bookworm
branch from the last tag, and plan on uploading to unstable from it.
Aurélien, please work within that branch if you have a chance to look
into #1036315 and #1036317. Feel free to tweak logo_installer.ini, I'm
happy to let you pick whatever you feel is best!
Cheers,
