** Description changed:

  As per the promise: https://canonical.com/blog/canonical-amd-rocm-ai-ml-
  hpc-libraries#:~:text=apt%20install%20rocm
  
  To make `apt install rocm` work we need some type of meta package which
  would install rocm stack (SDK) in system.
  
- I am thinking that, we can provide a rocm:src and rocm:binary package
- which would install the rocm stack.
+ I am thinking that, we can provide a rocm:src and rocm-dev:binary
+ package which would install the rocm stack.
  
  There are already efforts going on debian (experimental):
  https://salsa.debian.org/rocm-
  team/rocm/-/blob/master/debian/control?ref_type=heads
  
- There, it is being provided as rocm-dev, I just updated that to `rocm`
- to fit the publication we have but I am totally ok to make `apt install
- rocm-dev` as well.
  
- I would like to hear thoughts of ubuntu developers.
+ ~There, it is being provided as rocm-dev, I just updated that to `rocm` to 
fit the publication we have but I am totally ok to make `apt install rocm-dev` 
as well.~
+ 
+ After some feedback I updated the binary package name to be rocm-dev to
+ be consistent and keep the delta smaller with debian.
+ 
+ For future sponsor/uploader of this package:
+ ```
+ This is really just a meta package that just provides rocm-tests and rocm-dev 
binary packages so people can install the whole stack easily.
+ 
+ So today if we put this into ubuntu archive it will build but it wont be
+ installable. I added some autopkgtest so they are failing correctly.
+ 
+ That said and the given time constraints on initiative to make rocm available 
in resolute maybe we could upload this package to the -proposed even if it is 
not installable as of today (29th Jan. 2026)
+ ```
