Public bug reported:

[Availability]
The package is already in universe.

[Rationale]
The package is a core component on all supported Raspberry Pi images, both 
classic and core as it is responsible for pulling in the Raspberry Pi-specific 
kernel and headers.

[Security]
The raspi kernel is a derivative of the main/generic kernel (it's the same 
code-base with raspi specific patches and config changes). The kernel team 
track CVEs for the main kernel and do CVE respins of the Pi kernel in parallel 
with the main kernel (and all its other derivatives) if they think that a 
particular CVE affects the Pi kernel. They currently don't track Pi specific 
CVEs.

[Quality assurance]
There are no outstanding bugs which significantly affect the usability (i.e. 
our images boot successfully on all supported pi models), but there are high 
priority bugs open against our Pi kernel which we are actively working through 
(e.g. LP: #1857760).

[Dependencies]
There are no special dependencies compared to the main kernel package.

[Standards Compliance]
There are no differences in standards compliance to the main kernel package.

[Maintenance]
The package will be maintained by the kernel team.

[Background information]
As mentioned, this package is already used for all our pi images, so we are 
effectively already treating it as a package from main.
