Additional Information:
This is a preparatory package upload to experimental:
1. the next version of budgie-desktop is due soon after the GNOME 43
release.  This version of budgie-desktop introduces a new budgie
specific library and as such needs to be acceptable via the NEW queue.
This may introduce a delay the GNOME 43 transition.
2. The version is a preparatory package that will be updated as and
when GNOME 43 components are released into experimental.  This package
(or an updated future upload) will need to be compatible with GNOME 43
components.

Taken together, this upload will aid in the GNOME 43 transition.
