Something stays in NEW until a ftpmaster has time to review it. From
there, either it's accepted or rejected, but in both cases it gets out
from NEW.

Nothing can be done on our side, except asking ftpmasters to review
faster, but it's something to do only in urgent cases, and a new
package, even as exciting as LXD, is anything but urgent.

  At this point in time we're just waiting on the package to make it
through the NEW queue -- nothing more to be done right now. Hopefully
it won't be too much longer, but I can't predict when that will be. If
it gets to be within a couple months of the bookworm freezes beginning,
I'll probably ping the ftpmasters to see if they could prioritize
looking at it, so that there would be sufficient time for LXD to be in
unstable and get some testing prior to transition freezes kicking in.

  Also, I've got the LXD 5.0.1 update staged locally, so once LXD
passes NEW there will be a pretty quick update to the latest LTS
version.

Hi,

I think we are probably a number of people excited to see this (soon!) finally 
making it into Debian proper. :) I am currently running LXD as a snap, but it 
would just be so much nicer and cleaner to be able to use the "real" packages 
for this.

The package is currently in the Debian "new" queue, where it has been since 
August 4: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/lxd_5.0.0-1.html

Are there any impediments from seeing this making its way into 
unstable/experimental anytime soon, or is it just a matter of the FTP masters 
not having had time to look into it yet?

Best regards,
Per
