More Information
budgie-session is based upon the v44 version of gnome-session package in Debian.
It inherits Debian's existing packaging.  The existing d/copyright has
been completely reworked since the existing gnome-session package is
based on an old debian template (I think) and the copyright owners was
not complete.  The new gnome-session for GNOME 46 due in the new year
(2024) includes changes that are incompatible with the current
iteration of budgie-desktop.  The effort to expend to make
budgie-desktop compatible with it is (from an upstream POV) to be
diverted with upcoming budgie-desktop changes.

budgie-session is part of budgie-desktop's restructuring from its
GNOME based roots to a more independent project structure.  In the
future budgie-session will evolve to support the new Wayland only
version of budgie-desktop.

Assuming this package is acceptable to Debian I (as Debian Maintainer)
will upload a revised budgie-desktop package that utilises
budgie-session to enable full end-user testing.

This sbuilds against unstable and is lintian free.


Changes for the initial release:

 budgie-session (0.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial Release (Closes: #1058891)
