Yes, I understand.
The problem is that this bug affects Italian, French and probably all
languages with similar characters.
The simplest solution might be to completely remove this buggy package
from backports, but here
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1054214) was found a
patch for mutter 44.8-2 that fixed the issue on Sid.
I don't know if this patch is also suitable for Bookworm, but I doubt
it.
Evaluate for yourself what the best solution is for this case. As for
me, I'm giving up on this backport for now.
Many thanks,
Domenico Cufalo
