While looking at GNOME-team packages that haven't been uploaded for a
long time, I noticed that libgnomekbd was most recently uploaded before
Debian 12, and is not actually used by GNOME. (It's also dead upstream,
see the separate bug that I reported.)

Is this library still actively used? If yes, it would be great if a
developer who uses dependent packages could test and upload it, so that
we have positive evidence that it still worked during the trixie cycle.
Or if not, we should remove it.

Looking at reverse (build-)dependencies with dak on coccia, it seems like
the remaining users of libgnomekbd are gnome-screensaver and several
Cinnamon packages.

gnome-screensaver, in turn, seems to be depended on by budgie-desktop
(which surprises me, because I thought Budgie had an integrated screen lock
like GNOME and Cinnamon do, but perhaps I'm wrong to think that).

I have made some routine/janitorial changes in
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/libgnomekbd, but I do not intend to
upload them since I have no good way to test them. When uploading,
please keep or revert those changes, whichever seems most appropriate
to the uploader.

Thanks,

I have also been working through packages that have staged commits in
Salsa. This includes packages that haven't been uploaded during the
Trixie cycle because we updated the default packaging branch for all
our projects. Packages with staged commits were a little annoying
during the time transition with the NMUs because it takes more work to
unapply staged changes then apply the NMU then reapply the changes.
Since we're starting to finalize packages for Trixie now, I wanted to
take care of this and clean up the Vcs column at
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-gnome-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&version=testing

Thank you,
