Is this a minimal bug-fix release that is intended for inclusion in 
trixie during hard freeze?

If not, as per https://release.debian.org/trixie/freeze_policy.html 
please upload new upstream releases only to Ubuntu and/or experimental 
for now. Jeremy requested in 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2025/05/msg00001.html that we 
mostly should not upload GNOME 49 to Debian right now, not even in 
experimental, to be able to use experimental as a staging area for 
possible trixie updates (although we did make an exception to that for 
glib2.0).

Obviously it's too late for this particular package, and if we need an 
urgent bug fix before Debian 13.0, we'll have to version it as 
60+really59-1 or similar; but hopefully we won't need that for this 
particular package in practice, and by sending this message I'm hoping 
we can avoid a similar situation for GNOME packages that *do* need 
trixie updates.

Thanks,
