Please unblock package gnome-online-accounts.
This is a pre-approval request in case the Microsoft packaging change
is not wanted.

[ Reason ]
+ New bugfix release
  - Authentication failure in goa IMAP accounts
  - !331 Handle unexpected casing in domain names
  - Translation updates
+ Disable "Microsoft" account type

[ Impact ]
This includes a targeted upstream bugfix release to fix 2 bugs and
update translations.

We also made a packaging change to disable the "Microsoft" provider.
The Microsoft provider only handles email, but the "Microsoft 365"
provider handles email, calendar, contacts, and files (Files =
OneDrive integration in the file browser and file chooser). The
Microsoft provider was removed in GNOME 49 (GNOME 49 will be released
in September).

This packaging change is a quality of life improvement since it
reduces confusion (why are there 2 Microsoft account types and which
should I use?). Also, the Microsoft provider is basically end of life
and will not be in Debian 14. Therefore, it is better for people to
get used to the Microsoft 365 provider.

[ Tests ]
This package has superficial autopkgtests which are passing.

I completed the minimal test cases from
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/OnlineAccounts

[ Risks ]
My opinion is that the packaging change to disable the Microsoft
provider is acceptable if it lands before Debian 13 is released but we
would not want to make this change in a stable update.

[ Checklist ]
  [✔️] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [✔️] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [✔️] attach debdiff against the package in testing
My debdiff filters out the translation updates (*.po)

Since we are now in the "quiet week" and it seems unlikely for the
Release Team to consider this a "critical fix" and because I consider
the MIcrosoft account disabling to not be suitable for a Stable
Update, I am self-closing this bug.

I intend to proceed with uploading this update to unstable for forky
soon. I am likely to try to update gnome-online-accounts 3.54.* for
trixie as a regular stable update later without the Microsoft account
change.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
