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

Please unblock package gnome-backgrounds

[ Reason ]
We already have GNOME 48.1. This update is part of GNOME 48.2 and
mentioned at https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2025/06/twig-203/

[ Impact ]
The only change in this upload is to add 2 new desktop backgrounds to
celebrate Pride month. (Technically, it is 4 backgrounds since there
are dark and light style variants.)

gnome-backgrounds is a key package because it is a reverse dependency
of the GNOME and Cinnamon desktops. These new backgrounds show in the
desktop background switchers for those desktops.

I am guessing that these backgrounds will be removed in an upstream
update after June 2025, either to return in June 2026 or perhaps a new
set would be published then. By July 2025, trixie will be even more
frozen so I have no intent to do any further gnome-backgrounds uploads
for trixie. These backgrounds will stay for the lifetime of Debian 13.

[ Tests ]
There are no autopkgtests nor build tests. I verified that the
backgrounds can be set and display correctly in GNOME in both dark and
light styles.

[ Risks ]
Some people get upset at rainbows.

[ Checklist ]
  [✔️] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [✔️] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [✔️] attach debdiff against the package in testing

unblock: gnome-backgrounds/48.2.1-1

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
