Package: src:distro-info Severity: wishlist This is for bullseye, but filing it now, so we can do it at the start of the quarter
python-apt currently ships various data files detailing the available distributions: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/python-apt/tree/master/data/templates The .info.in are templates that get translations merged in at build-time. I'd like to drop those files from python-apt to reduce the number of packages that need an update for a new release, and I think it makes sense to ship them in distro-info, somewhere, likely in distro-info-data. This info also includes mirror lists, which need occasional updates, and having that in distro-info-data certainly makes it easier to update those lists more frequently, as it's kind of a waste to do a python-apt update just for that.
