Please consider unblocking package calamares-settings-debian
Recently, I put out a call for testing for debian-live, and my #1
feedback from random users and Debian Developers alike was that
we really should have desktop icons for the calamares installer
on the live media desktop instead of only in the menus.
I didn't have time to implement that by the time the freeze hit,
but spent some time looking into it and now have a very simple
but effective implementation that's tested on gnome, lxde, xfce,
lxqt, kde, cinnamon and mate (all our live variants) and it works.
I can understand if release team declines this because it is a new
feature that technically goes against the release policy, but it's
also very highly requested, has near-zero risk of affecting anything
else, and it would be a shame if users would have to wait another
two years for this.
Here follows the debdiff:

If approved, it would also be tremendously helpful if it had a short migration
time, to aid us in doing a quick turnaround for a public RC for wider testing.
Thanks for your time!

Done and done. On the flip side, I expect prompt fixes if regressions
appear in testing because of the accelerated migration (NB: it also
affects the 10.0.19-1 changes).
For future reference, it is often easier for us to let the previous
upload migrate first before doing a second upload for non-critical
(RC/migration blocking) issues.
Thanks,
~Niels
