Changes:
 gdm3 (48.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload
   * d/greeter.dconf-defaults: Remove non-functional theming options.
     The visual design of the greeter (login prompt) is no longer intended
     to be configurable, and in particular the background is no longer
     configurable, so none of the background-related settings have any
     effect. The greeter also does not use GTK, so changing the GTK
     theme has no effect on it.
     Remove these options from the default configuration file so that
     they will not mislead sysadmins. (Closes: #1105057)
   * d/greeter.dconf-defaults: Add some useful example options.
     Disabling fingerprint authentication is one of the examples given
     in the GNOME System Administration Guide. The steps from that guide
     won't actually work as-is on Debian (because we use a different
     username for the greeter, #1107944) but we can make it as easy as
     possible to do the equivalent.
     Meanwhile, disabling smartcard authentication is a way to avoid the
     presence of a smartcard having the side-effect of disabling the user
     list, and in some configurations also the ability to log in with a
     password (#1051785).
   * d/gdm3.alternatives: When smart card authentication is re-enabled,
     make gdm-smartcard-sssd-or-password the default.
     With the previous default, gdm-smartcard-sssd-exclusive, if a smart
     card was plugged in and libpam-sss was installed, we would reject
     attempts to log in with a password. This is the most-hardened choice
     if smart cards are being used for authentication, but prevents login
     if the smart card has not been enrolled for authentication and is
     actually being used for some other purpose such as OpenPGP or X509.
     (Closes: #1051785)
   * d/greeter.dconf-defaults: Disable smartcard authentication by default.
     Enabling smartcard authentication has side-effects on other aspects of
     greeter behaviour if a compatible smartcard happens to be connected:
     in particular, it disables the user list, resulting in users being
     required to type their username to log in.
     Enrolling smartcards to be used for authentication requires sysadmin
     action, so it seems reasonable to require the sysadmin to take action
     to enable it after they have done the necessary enrolment step.
     (Closes: #1051785)
   * d/p/gdm-settings-utils-rename-variable-to-fix-build-with-gcc-.patch:
     Add patch from upstream 49.alpha.0 to fix FTBFS in C23 mode.
     This won't become relevant until gcc 15 becomes the default during
     the forky cycle, but is a harmless change while we're uploading anyway.
     (Closes: #1096689)
