Public bug reported:

[Availability]
The package xdg-terminal-exec is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package xdg-terminal-exec build for the architectures it is designed to 
work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: all
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-terminal-exec

[Rationale]
- The package xdg-terminal-exec is required in Ubuntu
  main for compliance with the emerging XDG specification,
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/merge_requests/3.
- The package xdg-terminal-exec will generally be useful for a large part of
  our user base
- Package xdg-terminal-exec covers the same use case as x-terminal-emulator,
  but is better because it allows setting the default terminal for a particular
  user (instead of system-wide), and xdg-terminal-exec ought to be configured
  to be the terminal used for .desktop files that set Terminal=true too, 
  thereby we want to replace it.
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or
  should go universe->main instead of this.
- The binary package xdg-terminal-exec needs to be in main to ensure full
  and committed support for such a central piece for the Ubuntu desktop

- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the
  package xdg-terminal-exec in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- No `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
- Package does not expose any external endpoints
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software
  (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu/Upstream and does
  not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
  - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-terminal-exec/+bug
  - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=xdg-terminal-exec
  - Upstream's bug tracker, e.g., GitHub Issues
    https://github.com/Vladimir-csp/xdg-terminal-exec/issues
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
  it makes the build fail, link to build log[1].

- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
  x64, link to test logs[2]

- The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now

[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works

- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field

- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors
  Please link to a recent build log of the package[1]
- Please attach the full output you have got from
   `lintian --pedantic` as an extra post to this bug.
- Lintian overrides are not present

- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies

- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
  questions higher than medium

- Packaging and build is easy, link to debian/rules[3]

[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)

- End-user applications without desktop file, not needed because not a
desktop application.

[Dependencies]

- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy


[Maintenance/Owner]
- I suggest the owning team to be the desktop team
- The future owning team is not yet subscribed, but will subscribe to
  the package before promotion

- This does not use static builds

- This does not use vendored code

- This package is not rust based

RULE: - if there has been an archive test rebuild that has occurred more 
recently
RULE:   than the last upload, the package must have rebuilt successfully
TODO-A: - The package has been built in the archive more recently than the last
TODO-A:   test rebuild
TODO-B: - The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild
TODO-C: - The package was test rebuilt in PPA or sbuild recently (provide 
link/logs)
