Public bug reported:

* Availability

It's available on the Ubuntu supported architectures
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/0.5.5-2

The package is in sync with Debian

* Rationale

The source is a community maintained replacement for our current
libappindicator. Debian has transitioned and we plan to follow their
lead now, demoting libappindicator to universe until we can remove it
from the archive.

The binary to promote is libappindicator3-1

The request is low priority, it's a target of opportunity transition, it
doesn't need to land this cycle

* Security

There is no known security issues

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/libayatana-appindicator.html
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libayatana-appindicator

* Quality assurance

The desktop team is going to subscribe to the package

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/+bugs
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libayatana-appindicator

The source depends on some outdated libraries but that's because there
are still old applications needing it, that's already the case with our
libappindicator so not a change of status

The package enables upstream tests during the build but some are currently 
failing (and the Debian package doesn't stop the build on errors), that has 
been reported to Debian 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982845 and needs to be 
resolved before promotion
The package doesn't provide autopkgtests, which has been reported to Debian . 
That's not a regression compared to our current libappindicator
