---------------
gnome-control-center (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu2) cosmic; urgency=medium
* Rename ubuntu-gnome-version.patch to distro-logo.patch for proposed
upstreaming to Debian. Drop the hardcoded use of the Ubuntu font.
(LP: #1770473)
* debian/control.in:
- Drop now unnecessary fonts-ubuntu dependency
- Don't recommend libnss-myhostname since systemd-resolved handles this
functionality (LP: #1766575)
- Demote network-manager-gnome dependency back to recommends
(LP: #1770673)
- Depend on system-config-printer instead of system-config-printer-common
for the Additional Printer Settings button (LP: #1770695)
* Add 0007-fix-open-last-page.patch:
- Proposed patch fixes the "open last opened page" feature for Devices and
Details pages (LP: #1770699)

Don't hardcode Ubuntu font name in Settings > Details

Bug description:
Impact
------
On the About screen found in Settings > Details, the distro name and version
(Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) is hard-coded to use the Ubuntu font.
While the rest of the distro-logo.patch (or ubuntu-gnome-
version.patch) has a reasonable chance of being applied upstream, that
tweak would need to be a permanent Ubuntu patch.
The Ubuntu patch causes an issue for derivatives that are not Ubuntu
like System76's Pop!_OS. They could remove or modify the Ubuntu patch,
but it might be nicer to derivatives if they didn't need to do that.
Test Case
---------
1. From Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, open the Activities Overview.
2. Enter About and open the Settings > About screen.
Does the Ubuntu version number look ok?
3. Install GNOME Tweaks
4. Open GNOME Tweaks. Switch to the Fonts page and change the interface font
to a recognizable font.
5. Look at the Settings > About window. Does the Ubuntu version number use
that font?
Regression Potential
--------------------
Users that use custom fonts won't have the Ubuntu font represent the Ubuntu
version number.
