Yes also a short usage.

wait for unstable, I saw many archs that is failed with experimental,
from upstream cinnamon I saw some fixes for meson build (too recently
merged and too few tests), for example
https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/commit/e9f35d270fab316ebc028f396f6c8a8f51de53c3
that fixes build without network manager (and don't seems optional (add
nm if found) like before meson so a conditional switch should be added
in debian/rules for archs without nm)
