Thank you for caring for your packages in Ubuntu! Unfortunately the next LTS release of Ubuntu is already beyond feature freeze. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureFreeze. However, the release team may be willing to accept entirely new packages on the basis that they usually carry minimal risk to the archive. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess for details on how to ask for this. However you will need a feature freeze exception review, sponsorship review, and source and binary NEW reviews, and it's already late, so there's no guarantee this will happen on time. If you want to try, I'd start with all of this without delay. > So does packaging specifically for Ubuntu make any sense for my task? > I'll appreciate any advice about making this possible. Yes - it's fine and normal to upload to Ubuntu ahead of Debian NEW review in order to make an Ubuntu release. The Ubuntu archive admins do have to prioritise though - since the cost to do this is duplicating the review that Debian would otherwise have done. HTH, Robie
