That looks straightforward, with an obvious rollback path. The gnome-
shell switch should be evaluated based on where we are in the release
cycle once its ready, and how smoothly the g-c-c change goes. FFe
granted for the first part, g-c-c + g-i-s.

Title:
[FFe] Use tecla to display keyboard layouts
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception
=======================================
GNOME 45 includes a new keyboard layout viewer named Tecla to replace
gkbd-keyboard-display (old and written in GTK3). The Main Inclusion Request for
this was approved in LP: #2026774 but I reverted the switch in the
gnome-control-center, gnome-initial-setup, and gnome-shell packaging because
the first release of Tecla crashed with some keyboard layouts. That issue has
been fixed for the gnome-control-center & gnome-initial-setup integration.
Specific changes
================
1. Drop the Tecla patch from gnome-control-center and gnome-initial-setup
2. Have gnome-control-center and gnome-initial-setup depend on Tecla
3. Promote Tecla to main. The approved MIR is
https://launchpad.net/bugs/2026774
(Both 1 and 2 have been done in Debian Unstable now.)
Later changes
=============
In my testing with GNOME Shell 45 Beta, there are still some issues with the
Tecla integration. I'll file those issues upstream and we'd like to be able to
switch GNOME Shell to use Tecla later this cycle. We would…
4. Drop the Tecla patch from gnome-shell
5. Have gnome-shell depend on Tecla
6. Demote libgnomekbd to Universe
Testing Done
============
I successfully completed Test Case 1 and the first 5 steps of Test Case 2 from
