Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 + src:mutter

Please unblock package mutter

[ Reason ]
Fix a crash when plugging in a Lenovo Thunderbolt dock (#1031847)

[ Impact ]
Desktop environment crash when connecting certain Thunderbolt docks
(maybe also monitors) that have an invalid ICC profile in their EDID data

[ Tests ]
Bug reporter confirmed that an earlier test-build of the patched package
resolves their crash.

The uploaded version is functionally very similar, but logs an error
message instead of crashing in a related "can't happen" situation,
as requested in the upstream merge request. I've installed it on my
laptop and it works normally, but I don't have the necessary hardware
to reproduce the crash.

[ Risks ]
This is a highly visible component of our default desktop environment,
but the change is straightforward. If it introduces a bug, the bug should
be minor (a memory leak, once per device connected).

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
