Is this a minimal bug-fix release that is intended for inclusion in trixie during hard freeze?
If not, as per https://release.debian.org/trixie/freeze_policy.html please upload new upstream releases only to Ubuntu and/or experimental for now. Jeremy requested in https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2025/05/msg00001.html that we mostly should not upload GNOME 49 to Debian right now, not even in experimental, to be able to use experimental as a staging area for possible trixie updates (although we did make an exception to that for glib2.0).
Obviously it's too late for this particular package, and if we need an urgent bug fix before Debian 13.0, we'll have to version it as 60+really59-1 or similar; but hopefully we won't need that for this particular package in practice, and by sending this message I'm hoping we can avoid a similar situation for GNOME packages that *do* need trixie updates.
Thanks,
