 Hi, 
  
 I work on the Google Earth Engine team. We are trying to use GDAL with 
 GeoParquet on our internal Linux machines based on Ubuntu, but we are 
 running into problems because Arrow is currently not included into the main 
 distro. 
  
 This bug says that carrying the full Arrow C++ is a problem because of 
 size, optional features, and release cadence. I'm not an expert, but it 
 seems that a lean, blessed profile (core + Parquet, with a few codecs; 
 optionally Dataset) should be feasible and stable enough for distros, while 
 keeping maintenance manageable (or at least that's what LLMs tell me 
 ). 
  
 What are the best next steps to make this happen? I'm happy to help with 
 some glue work, but I'm not an expert in either Arrow or Ubuntu, so some 
 guidance would be welcome! 
  
 Thanks, 
 Simon
