Public bug reported:
Please sync tigervnc 1.12.0+dfsg-2 (universe) from Debian unstable
(main)
Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
* debian/patch/0001-Update-Surface_X11.cxx.patch
TigerVNC 1.11.0 contains a regression that causes vncviewer to display
incorrect colors when vncviewer and X11 server use different endianness.
(LP: #1929790)
A while ago I worked on the following bug:
"Request to backport fix for endianness issue in TigerVNC vncviewer"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929790
"
tigervnc (1.11.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1) impish; urgency=medium
* debian/patch/0001-Update-Surface_X11.cxx.patch
TigerVNC 1.11.0 contains a regression that causes vncviewer to display

"
and it was eventually fixed for hirsute and impish with v1.11.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1,
based on picking an upstream commit (7ab92639848) to v1.11.
This commit (transferred into a quilt patch: 0001-Update-Surface_X11.cxx.patch)
was the one and only delta between Debian and Ubuntu.
So it was highly likely that once a new upstream release is picked up by Debian,
this would possibly replace the Ubuntu specific version based on a sync.
MoM lists that new package:
https://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html?query=tigervnc&showProposed=true&showMergeNeeded=true
for obvious reasons as modified.
I had a look at the patches and like assumed the only delta was
quilt patch '0001-Update-Surface_X11.cxx.patch'.
This patch didn't applied anymore (which is expected).
Looking at the code in v1.12 and upstream git tells my (like expected)
that the fix is now included in v.1.12:
$ git log --oneline --grep "Runtime sellection of ARGB XImage byte order"
7ab92639 Update Surface_X11.cxx
$ git tag --contains 7ab92639
v1.11.90
v1.12.0
So I can explicitly confirm that the Ubuntu changes can safely be overridden.
Changelog entries since current jammy version 1.11.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1:

* Re-upload as-is (and source-only).
