Bug#1109269: unblock: gnome-shell/48.3-1

[Simon McVittie]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-shell at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-shell
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

I would like this to be considered for Debian 13.0 if possible, but if 
we're too late for that, it can be deferred to 13.1 by converting this 
request into a trixie-pu request.

[ Reason ]

New upstream bugfix release

[ Impact ]

Several non-critical bug fixes of varying importance. In this particular 
release, many of them relate to accessibility, particularly for the Orca 
screen reader.

The only changes in debian/ are updating the packaging branches to track 
48.x (because 49.x development has already started, but will not be in 
trixie), and fixing the Homepage field (an opportunistic 1-line bug fix 
with no real regression risk).

[ Tests ]

I'm running the proposed version on my laptop and it works normally. 
I've verified that gnome-shell#7456 is fixed; I haven't tried to 
reproduce the other fixed issues.

[ Risks ]

It's a central package in our default desktop environment.

The changes are narrowly targeted, and seem proportionate to the 
severity of what's being fixed: they either fix a significant problem in 
a minimal way, or fix a low-severity problem with a change that seems 
very low-risk. The noisiest are gnome-shell!3179 (which is mostly 
GObject boilerplate, and fixes a real problem) and gnome-shell!3756 
(which only touches comments).

The upstream project has generally been good about finding and fixing 
regressions, and we have often updated gnome-shell in Debian stable point 
releases in the past.

[ 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
