Bug#1036849: bookworm-pu: package gnome-software/43.5-0+deb12u1

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-software

GNOME upstream has done a stable point release of gnome-software. This
doesn't seem urgent enough to want to break the freeze for, but it would
be good to get it in 12.1.

[ Reason ]
User request on #1036312; upstream stable release fixing memory leaks

[ Impact ]
If not fixed, presumably gnome-software will gradually leak memory.
I've asked the reporter of #1036312 for further context.
The bug reporter describes these as security fixes, but I don't understand
the basis for saying this.

[ Tests ]
Manually tested on my laptop (mixed testing+unstable+experimental),
seems to be able to upgrade packages successfully. I'll test it further
on a more pure bookworm system.

[ Risks ]
Low risk, the changes are narrowly-targeted and look obviously correct.

[ 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 bookworm
  [ ] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
New upstream release with memory leak fixes and no other changes.

[ Other info ]
I have not uploaded to unstable due to the full freeze, and I can't
upload to experimental because GNOME 44 is already there.

May I upload this to unstable as 43.5-1 to get it some more testing,
on the understanding that if there is an unforeseen urgent change to
gnome-software, these fixes can be included with it? If I do that,
presumably the upload to bookworm would become 43.5-1~deb12u1.
