  Description     : xdg-desktop-portal backend for the Umbriel compositor

xdg-desktop-portal-umbriel provides an Umbriel implementation for the
desktop-agnostic xdg-desktop-portal service with support for
ScreenCast and Screenshot. It also provides share picker that shows
screen and window thumbnails in a responsive grid.

This package can provides additional functionality to the Umbriel Wayland
compositor: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1145059

I will plan to maintain this package myself along with:

- noctalia https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1141348
- noctalia-greeter https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1148186
- umbriel https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1145059

Indeed, I have been maintaining these packages for some months now
for the Noctalia project's apt repository for Debian trixie and
unstable, and Ubuntu 26.04.

I would like these packages to be in Debian, but am not a DD or DM so
will need a sponsor.

The above packages provide a modern and elegant Wayland desktop
experience.
