MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gsettings-desktop-schemas-
ubuntu [2]:

This package is not useful at all for Arch Linux.

It has been updated just now to Ubuntu's 44.0-1ubuntu1 (2023-03-31)
release.
Current latest stable Ubuntu version is: 45.0-1ubuntu1 (2023-09-19).
Current Arch Linux extra repo version:   45.0-1 (built 2023-09-30,
released 2023-10-09).

This package just applies Ubuntu's patches from its debian/patches
tarball dir.

Both 44.0 & 45.0 Ubuntu versions have only one Ubuntu-specific patch
in *debian.tar.xz [a]:
- ubuntu_lock-on-suspend.patch (fixes an Ubuntu-only bug).

Even if this PKGBUILD were promptly maintained, it would functionally
just be
a duplicate of extra/gsettings-desktop-schemas.
But as of now, it mismatches the Arch repo version, and the current
track record shows lack of adequate attention by AUR maintainers. [b]

There is no package that would benefit from this variant at all on
Arch Linux.
And nothing on AUR specifically requires it.
Therefore I propose to delete it, and it is safe to do so.
