Thanks for your interest in LXD packaging - and sorry for the late reply.

The issue with said package is that it doesn't follow Debian packaging
guidelines. We can't vendor all the deps like it's done here. Some
vendoring might be OK in very specific cases, but here we have to take
the long road.

The progress on packaging LXD deps is tracked in gobby.debian.org at
Teams/Go/lxd-deps-packaging.

An http export is here:
https://gobby.debian.org/export/Teams/Go/lxd-dep-packaging.

As you can see, there are still a lors of dependancies. I doubt we'll be
able to make this enter Debian before the soft freeze, but if enough
people want to help, that might still be possible.

Intested parties, please don't hesitate to just tag some entries in the
Gobby doc or ping me on IRC (nodens) to tell me what you're working on.

Cheers,
