  Description     : Kubernetes Package Manager

Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes
applications. Think of it like apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes.

Control: retitle -1 RFP: helm-kubernetes -- Kubernetes Package Manager

The binary package name "helm" is still available, but there is already
a completely unrelated package src:helm in Debian:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/helm

This has to be sorted out if this software actually gets packaged,
I am retitling the RFP to a temporary name to make it clear that
this is something different.[1]

[1] If it builds a binary package helm there would be benefits
    in renaming the other src:helm (the BTS handles binary package
    in a different source package than a source package of the same
    name very poorly), but this should be discussed when it becomes
    relevant.

This "helm" is a plugin for emacs. Its binary packages are elpa-helm and elpa-
helm core. It does not deliver a helm executable.

So there's no collision between emacs' helm and kubernetes' helm besides the
source package name.

According to upstream, you can install helm from apt on Debian:
https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/#from-apt-debianubuntu

 > Members of the Helm community have contributed a Helm package for Apt.

The link points to:
https://helm.baltorepo.com/stable/debian/packages/helm/

The package source apparently is:
https://github.com/BaltoRepo/helm-linux-packages

They package it with fpm: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
which is not (and likely won't ever be) in Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/688896
