Bug#919914: gnome-tweaks now equates "don't suspend on lid close" with "don't lock on lid close" (security issue)

Hi all,

I'm going to try and summarize what I believe is the situation of this bug.

1) There's a patch upstream for a long time already, however it's not
    merged.
2) The Debian maintainer is reluctant to apply the patch without
    upstream applying it *or* consensus in Debian that it's the right
    thing to do.
3) I don't believe consensus has been reached.

As a result, without a call from authorities¹ this RC bug remains 
stalled. At this moment, as a member of the Release Team, I'll say that 
I'd like to see this bug resolved (patch applied, closed+wontfix or 
downgraded), but we'll not hold up the bookworm release if it's not.

Paul
