    I was very happy to read about the release of Debian Installer Trixie RC
    1 [1]—many thanks to Holger and the entire Boot team for all the work
    that went into it. I know how critical and complex this part of the
    release process is, and I truly appreciate your continued efforts.

    I was particularly interested in the planned integration of blendsel. I understand that it might already be included in this release, but I
    didn’t find it mentioned in the changelog. Since this feature is quite important to me, I just wanted to kindly ask whether it is already
    present and perhaps the changelog just doesn’t reflect it yet—or whether it's planned for a later point.

    Apologies for not checking the code directly; things are quite busy on
    my end, so I wanted to ask just to be sure.

    Thanks again for all your work and dedication!

    Kind regards
    Andreas.

    Sure, it's included.

    I guess it did not make it into the announcement/changelog, because blendsel is a new package, and that requires some action in a (black magic) mechanism, which helps Cyril to grab the relevant changings together for the announcement ;-)

    Indeed. Pascal's answer is even better than mine!
    Thanks!

    AFAICS the logic for running blendsel was added to pkgsel 0.83 [1] which
    was included in D-I Alpha 1 already [2]. However the D-I Alpha 1
    announcement purposely did not detail all the many changes since
    bookworm, so blendsel was not explicitly mentioned [3].
