Hi. This is all FYI and does not require any action on your side :-)

The above attempt at dropping gtk2 was still in HEAD in the salsa repo
and made the package (or the repository) not to be in good shape.

Since I wanted to make a team upload, I've first done a "tidy up" commit
to put the repo in sync with version 4.44.1+dfsg-7.1 (i.e. the NMU
where the time_t transition happened).

This allowed me to add the missing tag for the NMU in a way which was
clearly visible when doing "git log".

The gtk2 commits, even if reverted, have not been lost because they
are still in the history, but if there is a real need to put them
somewhere in a way that they can be tested, I suggest using a branch.

Thanks.
