Public bug reported:

[Availability]
The package python-invoke is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package python-invoke build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: all
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-invoke

[Rationale]
- The package python-invoke is required in Ubuntu main for python3-invoke
- The package python-invoke will not generally be useful for a large part of
  our user base, but is helpful still because task execution functionalities
- The package python-invoke is a new runtime dependency of package
  python3-paramiko that we already support
- There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main
- This is the first time package will be in main
- The binary packages python3-invoke needs to be in main to achieve for paramiko
- The package python-invoke is required in Ubuntu main no later than Feb 19
  due to 26.04 import freeze

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
- Package does not expose any external endpoints
- 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/Upstream and does
  not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs
  - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-invoke/+bug
  - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=python-invoke
  - Upstream's bug tracker https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke/issues
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails it makes the build fail
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/844036480/buildlog_ubuntu-resolute-amd64.python-invoke_2.2.0-2ppa1_BUILDING.txt.gz
- autopkgtest case should be added for the included CLI
- The package does have not failing autopkgtests right now

[Quality assurance - packaging]
- A mechanism to detect and fetch new upstream versions is present and works
- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
- This package has a single lintian warning
  - P: python-invoke source: redundant-rules-requires-root-no-field [debian/control:20]
- 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 not be installed by default
- Packaging and build is easy, https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-invoke/tree/debian/rules

[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)

[Dependencies]
- Used check-mir from ubuntu-dev-tools to validate
  all dependencies or recommends are in main.

[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

[Maintenance/Owner]
- The owning team will be debcrafters and I have their acknowledgment for
  that commitment
- The future owning team is not yet subscribed, but will subscribe to
  the package before promotion
- This does not use static builds
- This does not use vendored code
- This package is not rust based
- The package has been built within the last 3 months in PPA
- https://launchpad.net/~simpoir/+archive/ubuntu/python-invoke/+build/32161230
- This change will not impact other teams

[Background information]
- The Package description explains the package well
- Upstream Name is invoke
- https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke/
