Public bug reported:

[Availability]                                                                   
The package jigit is already in Ubuntu universe.                                 
The package jigit build for the architectures it is designed to work on.         
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x
Link to package [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jigit|jigit]]             
                                                                                 
[Rationale]                                                                      
- The package jigit is required in Ubuntu main for libisofs (in turn needed for usb-creator)
- The package jigit will not generally be useful for a large part of             
  our user base, but is important/helpful still because Debian is still using this file format to
  publish its releases.                                                          
- The package jigit is a new runtime dependency of package usb-creator that      
  we already support                                                             
                                                                                 
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the                
  package jigit in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.             
                                                                                 
[Security]                                                                       
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past                           
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries                                                   
- Binary mkjigsnap in sbin => this requires security review                      
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs                    
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)                         
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software            
  (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...)                                    
                                                                                 
[Quality assurance - function/usage]                                             
- The package works well right after install                                     
                                                                                 
[Quality assurance - maintenance]                                                
- The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and has not too many           
  and long term critical bugs open                                               
   - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jigit/+bug                 
   => 2 bugs open for years, one incomplete and one briefly asking for multiarch support.
   - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=jigit              
   => Only 3 that are not important but they have been open for years (one from 2004!)
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support               
                                                                                 
[Quality assurance - testing]                                                    
- The package does not run a test at build time because no testsuite exists upstream
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because no testsuite exists upstream   
- The package can be tested at autopktest time by adding a test that is actually described in libjte/test/demo.c file and that will be added before the promotion (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/606034822/jigit_1.22-3build1_1.22-3ubuntu1~ppa0.diff.gz)
                                                                                 
[Quality assurance - packaging]                                                  
- debian/watch is not present and there is nothing explaining how to create the source tar: a bug report
  from 2013 proposed to add a watchfile but the maintainer refused it (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=697700)
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field                              
- This package does not yield massive lintian Warnings, Errors                   
- Please link to a recent build log of the package https://launchpadlibrarian.net/464118381/buildlog_ubuntu-focal-amd64.jigit_1.22-3build1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- Please attach the full output you have got from

- Lintian overrides are not present                                              
- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.        
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies                               
- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf             
  questions higher than medium                                                   
- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules https://sources.debian.org/src/jigit/1.22-3/debian/rules/
                                                                                 
[UI standards]                                                                   
- Application is end-user facing but no translation is present.                  
- End-user applications without desktop file, not needed because most users won't use it.
                                                                                 
[Dependencies]                                                                   
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main         
                                                                                 
[Standards compliance]                                                           
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy                           
                                                                                 
[Maintenance/Owner]                                                              
- Owning Team will be Foundations                                                
- Team is already subscribed to the package                                      
- This does not use static builds                                                
- This does not use vendored code                                                
- The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20220317-jammy/+sourcepub/13319228/+listing-archive-extra)
