Bug#1107152: RM: hyprland ecosystem

[Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: trixie moreinfo
X-Debbugs-Cc: hyprland@packages.debian.org, xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:hyprland
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: rm

The maintainer of hyprland has opened RC bugs in several of hyprland's 
dependencies since the hard freeze began, to prevent them from being 
included in trixie-as-stable:

* https://bugs.debian.org/1106520 (hyprland-protocols)
* https://bugs.debian.org/1106521 (hyprlang)
* https://bugs.debian.org/1106523 (hyprutils)
* https://bugs.debian.org/1106524 (hyprwayland-scanner)
* https://bugs.debian.org/1106525 (hyprcursor)
* https://bugs.debian.org/1106522 (hyprpaper: not in testing)
* https://bugs.debian.org/1106531 (xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland: different
  maintainer, but presumably not useful without hyprland)

Since we're in hard freeze, the Debian 13 release is hopefully not so 
far off, so I thought it might be better to explicitly remove these 
packages from testing rather than waiting another month for autoremovals 
to take effect.

Alan, please confirm whether your intention is for all of these, plus 
hyprland itself, to be removed from trixie before the stable release? 
There is currently no corresponding bug for hyprland itself, but it is 
not possible to have hyprland in Debian 13 unless its dependencies are 
also present.

I have checked that removing the following 7 packages from testing would 
be self-contained and not break dependencies:

smcv@coccia ~ % dak rm -s trixie -R -n \
    hyprland \
    hyprland-protocols \
    hyprlang \
    hyprutils \
    hyprwayland-scanner \
    libhyprcursor \
    xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
...
Checking reverse dependencies...
No dependency problem found.

Thanks,
