Bug#1109956: unblock: gnome-online-accounts/3.54.3-3 (pre-approval)

[Jeremy Bicha]

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

Please unblock package gnome-online-accounts.
This is a pre-approval request in case the Microsoft packaging change
is not wanted.

[ Reason ]
+ New bugfix release
  - Authentication failure in goa IMAP accounts
  - !331 Handle unexpected casing in domain names
  - Translation updates
+ Disable "Microsoft" account type

[ Impact ]
This includes a targeted upstream bugfix release to fix 2 bugs and
update translations.

We also made a packaging change to disable the "Microsoft" provider.
The Microsoft provider only handles email, but the "Microsoft 365"
provider handles email, calendar, contacts, and files (Files =
OneDrive integration in the file browser and file chooser). The
Microsoft provider was removed in GNOME 49 (GNOME 49 will be released
in September).

This packaging change is a quality of life improvement since it
reduces confusion (why are there 2 Microsoft account types and which
should I use?). Also, the Microsoft provider is basically end of life
and will not be in Debian 14. Therefore, it is better for people to
get used to the Microsoft 365 provider.

[ Tests ]
This package has superficial autopkgtests which are passing.

I completed the minimal test cases from
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/OnlineAccounts

[ Risks ]
My opinion is that the packaging change to disable the Microsoft
provider is acceptable if it lands before Debian 13 is released but we
would not want to make this change in a stable update.

[ Checklist ]
  [✔️] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [✔️] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [✔️] attach debdiff against the package in testing
My debdiff filters out the translation updates (*.po)

unblock gnome-online-accounts/3.54.3-3

Thank you,
