The test-release.sh script still doesn't have it and I believe it's
just because we never had it, but I agree we should release it this
time. It's good enough to at least be considered beta in some arches
and experimental in others.

CC'ing Hans and Tom to coordinate the script update.

cheers,

Great news! Thank you to the LLD team. I look forward to adding LLD as a
dependency.

I see in that code review page that LLD is built in the test-release
script. Happy to see that. Now I'm thinking about package maintainers such
as Debian, and hoping that they will pick up LLD and make it available with
this next release. What is different about this release that will clue
Debian developers and other package managers that they should include LLD
with this release? How can we communicate to package maintainers to do this?

Regards,
Andrew
