Oh, I wasn’t aware that the "-team" suffix was added automatically. I guess
this makes my request even less relevant.

Thanks for preparing the work.

I just noticed that the topic on #debian-devel contains the following:

So we probably shouldn’t rely too much on that infrastructure for the moment.
But obviously all your preparatory work is going to help a lot when the platform
enters production mode.
