Notes:
This upload to experimental has been requested to facilitate the
upcoming GNOME mutter 3.30
transition that is about to be undertaken (Serious: #907616)

Tested by pbuilder-dist on experimental; this has been tested on
Ubuntu 18.10 (cosmic) and is part of the daily ISO builds

check-all-the-things has been run on the source
lintian -i -I --pedantic run on the built changes files.

W: orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature --> this is due to using
a git release tarball. A v10.5 signed tarball is expected soon by the
upstream project but date is yet to be set publically; I am using a
git release to
increase testing exposure in Ubuntu; since Debian is now about to
transition I'm more than happy for the Debian community to join the
testing effort.

May I request that this package be added to my debian maintainers list
of packages I'm allowed to look after (dak fossfreedom@ubuntu.com) ? ;

timeliness of uploads is key especially as I am working with upstream
with development activities and the production of additional patches
as we
move towards budgie-desktop v10.5

  Changes since the last upload:

  * Release to experimental (Closes: #907616)
    - base on ubuntu cosmic package; this includes a git release of
      budgie-desktop that will form the forthcoming v10.5 release.
      Includes additional patches to compile for mutter 3.30 plus
      current work-in-progress stability patches
  * Packaging Changes
    - budgie-core.lintian-overrides - revise explanation of the lintian
      false positive results with the objdump test to confirm the observations
    - bump control Standards-Version; no additional changes required
    - libraven0.symbols add two additional symbols for git release
