It would be good to clarify. There is another package I maintain in Debian, udunits, thats a C library but also provides a "canonical" units database. It would be good not to  duplicate (reuse libudunits-data in unyt etc ?)

How does this interact with xarray, etc?

I don't know; the reason to package it is that it is a new requirement of the "yt" package. It was first developed within yt, and then separated. There is another attempt to use units in the "astropy" package; as far as I know they are not compatible.

A quick search however brings up

https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/525

with some long-lasting, unresolved discussion of the situation.
