Thanks.  This is IMO much better.  I looked at the diff and almost
everything in it is covered by your changelog entries.  However:

 * document-portal/xdp-dbus.c was generated by a version of
   gdbus-codegen which seems to be only in Debian experimental. !

 * gtk-doc.make has some noise (which seems to be just whitespace
   changes but which is a bit hard to review as-is)

This is a bit odd.  Are these generated files even though they are in
the source package ?  Is it possible to exclude these updates
somehow ?

(FTR: I have no other concerns.)

If I were the release team I would prefer not to take that unless we
had to.

Jolly good.

Thanks,
Ian.
