Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.60.0-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
With previous versions of gnome-terminal, upgrading would take effect on
a subsequent run of gnome-terminal, but would not interrupt existing
terminals. However, with the new version of gnome-terminal, upgrading
kills all open gnome-terminal sessions; it appears that it restarts the
systemd user unit.
Please consider changing this to stop killing running terminals, which
may have valuable data or context in them.

Closes: 1144676
Changes:
gnome-terminal (3.60.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
* Revert "Update debhelper compat to 14".
In debhelper compat level 14, systemd user services are restarted
on upgrade, and unlike system services there is currently no way to
configure this not to happen. We don't want all running terminals
to exit during an upgrade. (Closes: #1144676)
* Disable dh_dwz, consistent with debhelper compat level 14 defaults
