Concern was voiced that this proposal may sound like a call to maintainers to enable all these features directly. This was not our intention. At this point we mostly want to introduce the available solutions. Whether there will be an archive-wide global pre-selection of features and with which features will of course depend on the testing of the respective maintainers and discussions on debian-devel.
