Bug#1118645: cinnamon: please add Depends: gir1.2-clutter-1.0

Please add Depends: gir1.2-clutter-1.0 since it's required by
cinnamon. Cinnamon uses Clutter a lot via GObject Introspection via
cjs. The only thing that was keeping clutter-1.0 in Debian Testing was
caribou, which cinnamon already was depending on and cinnamon is a key
package.

However, cinnamon will stop using caribou "soon". See

Thank you,

Hi, if I'm not mistaken, muffins have been using a built-in clutter fork for years, or is there still something in cinnamon that still uses the old clutter?

For 6.6 they did a big job that allows you to remove the use of caribou in cinnamon but then it remains on cinnamon-screensaver that it seems they will redo (another big task) later but at the moment they haven't started and I don't know if it is planned for the next version or after that (so probably another half a year/a year)
