BTW, I think for future GNOME library deprecations it would be a good idea to file wishlist bugs against reverse dependencies immediately when GNOME upstream decides to deprecate things instead of filing them closer to the removal time. For example I guess for GTK+3 that will be coming during the bullseye cycle as GTK+4 is in progress? As I understand it, GTK+2 is already deprecated so now is the time to file bugs about that. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
