The new gnome-online-accounts API was implemented in
gnome-control-center upstream version 46.beta.1. In Debian, we adjust
the first . to ~ to make 46~beta.1 (to ensure that 46~beta sorts lower
than 46.0). The downstream Debian version is the part of the version
number after the final - . So, 46~beta-1 is actually upstream's
46.beta instead of 46.beta.1. The final -1 just means this is the
"first" Debian revision for that upstream version. Sorry, that it is
so confusing here.

Yes, we intentionally did not package 46.beta.2 (or beta.1) yet
because of how disruptive the new gnome-online-accounts version will
be. It will take some time to think about how to handle it.

Thank you,
