I believe we have finished steps 0, 1, and 3. Step 4 is mostly done:
gdm3's removal is only requested not done yet.
Can I proceed with uploading the new gjs to unstable to finish step 2?
I also created https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/merge_requests/32
but maybe that's unnecessary since task-gnome-desktop is currently
arch: all.
Thank you,
