  Description     : WebRTC graphical console for Proxmox VE

QSM Direct streams a QEMU D-Bus display to a browser over WebRTC, using
software encoding or optional NVENC, QSV and VA-API hardware encoding.
It provides audio, keyboard/mouse input and optional clipboard support,
authorized by the existing Proxmox VE login and VM.Console permissions.
An optional LXC add-on provides graphical container consoles.

I intend to package the standalone profile for Debian contrib. It runs
with official Proxmox VE packages and does not require patched PVE debs,
but still requires pve-manager and qemu-server, which are outside Debian.
I am not proposing those external dependencies for Debian main or claiming
that this is a generic Debian remote-desktop service.

The implementation is available now, with source, binary preview packages,
installation instructions and validation reports:

https://rdmitry0911.github.io/qsm-rd/

Development is sponsored by Takt: https://taktcycles.com/
This is project sponsorship; a Debian Developer upload sponsor is still
needed. I plan to maintain the package and am preparing conventional
debhelper source packaging, a file-level copyright/license inventory and
clean-build tests before requesting upload sponsorship. I would welcome
feedback on the contrib scope and the Proxmox runtime dependencies.

The upstream implementation and this packaging work use AI assistance.
The source, build process and test evidence are public for review; this
ITP is an intent to package, not an assertion that Debian review or
acceptance has already happened.

Thanks,
Dmitry

Hi,

A packaging progress update for this ITP: the conventional Debian source
package is now available, version 0.4.0+20261020-0exp1, proposed initially
for experimental/contrib. The existing RFS is #1151425:

https://bugs.debian.org/1151425

Signed source files, build provenance and review evidence:
https://github.com/rdmitry0911/qsm-rd/releases/tag/v0.4.0-debian-contrib-20261020-review2

The October 20 validation includes unprivileged builds with networking
disabled on Debian 13 and unstable, 19 passing CTest tests in each build,
clean Lintian source/binary checks and a passing source-units autopkgtest
on unstable. Build dependencies are in Debian main; external Proxmox
packages remain runtime dependencies, which is why I propose contrib.

Independent human review and a Debian Developer upload sponsor are still
needed. The new debhelper maintainer-script integration also needs PVE
install/upgrade/removal review before an upload. No upload to the Debian
archive has taken place. AI assistance is disclosed in the original ITP,
RFS and source review material.

Thanks,
Dmitry
