I spend some time searching for random symbols to see if all long
depends or selects lines looked seriously broken and I did not find
anything.

Like you said down thread, this seems much better than what we currently
have, which is nothing. The Sashiko comments [1] seem rather contrived
(if valid at all, I did not check closely) but it seems reasonable not
to get things wrong off rip so with those fixed (if necessary), we can
probably get this into -next to see if there is anyting we immediately
need to tweak.

If you need to respin, you can drop the Assisted-by, it is not longer
used per
