Source: freetype
Version: 2.6-2
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: mfv at debian.org, pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider updating freetype to the new upstream release 2.6.1.

As discussed on IRC this fixes graphical issues (very) visible in the
GNOME lockscreen (and elsewhere) in Debian Unstable/Testing.

For reference:

12:07 < mfv> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751473#c3
12:07 < mfv> seems to fix the issue.
12:08 < mfv> downgrading freetype2 to 2.5.x version, that is in jessie.
12:12 < mfv> or wait for freetype2 2.6.1 to be released, where the fix has been
             merged.
12:13 < mfv> http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=c1c0720cc3b4e2d782784b261cadea9e6f940194
