Discrepancies: Ubuntu vs RedHat with Foreman+Katello

See my previous thread here with detailed explanation and references of what I’m running into. Gist of the issue is it seems to be needing a global environmental variable applied to Pulp, specifically the variable FORCE_IGNORE_MISSING_PACKAGE_INDICES=True, which isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Foreman+Katello documentation, nightly or stable. I’m unsure of how/where to place this variable for it to apply to Pulp. I opened an inquiry on GitHub for pulp/pulp_deb in hopes of having this question addressed. Would be great if this were made into a simple checkbox to enable this feature on the web UI when dealing with deb repositories or at the very least mentioned in documentation with a detailed explanation of what to expect and how/where to apply it.

I don’t mind tricky. I just need to know if this feature is present and possible. If it is, I’ll do what is necessary to make it happen. I just need to know how it’s done. The reporting features Foreman+Katello provide for EL are crucial to have for our Ubuntu systems as they provide my team that window into our in-place content. If this feature is not present or possible at this time, then I need to move onto different pastures so as to stop wasting valuable company time on a fruitless endeavor.

Which one is more monitored and active as far as engaging with its users - here or the GitHub page? I want to ensure I’m posting inquiries, bugs, and suggestions to the proper location.
