Bug#1019701: RFP: rpi-imager -- Raspberry Pi Imaging Utility
Hi Francois, Lin, I'm the maintainer for the current Ubuntu packaging of rpi-imager [1]. If Debian's interested in adding this, there's a few changes in the Ubuntu packaging that *might* interest Debian (in particular the bits that include the JSON schema documentation, and patch out the privacy violations that lintian then warns about, and possibly the d/watch file as well). I'm currently prepping the packaging for 1.7.4 but it's a little complicated by the new "no-big-endian" check [2] which obviously breaks the s390x build. I should probably just disable that build but a part of me is tempted to "just fix it"! Oh, and 1.7.4 also includes the man-page that I previously patched into 1.7.3 [3]. Anyway, do feel free to grab anything from there if it's wanted!

I've contacted the upstream authors about this prospective package [1]. They indicated that there is not a desire to have their package in Debian due to the long release cycle. There are a few changes that would need to be made but without their interest or consent, it seems stuck. It is in good shape and would be easy to put into Debian due to most of the packaging (e.g. /debian) being done, however.
