Thanks for that!

Hehe, just wanted to ask.

For those too lazy to check there and figure out which mail in that
bug report is meant, here is the essence:

  This patch seems to include a conversion file to migrate the existing
  data/settings over from gconf2 to gsettings database, however the
  'gsettings-data-convert' tool is part of the 'gconf2' package
  but there's no dependency from gnomint against gconf2 so the
  conversion
  won't happen unless the user already has gconf2 installed (which
  is becoming less and less likely).
  
  With gsettings migration I guess you feel it's unwelcome to have
  a dependency on gconf2 remaining in buster, but for data conversion
  the dependency needs to remain until gsettings conversion has shipped
  in one stable debian release (as a minimum).

Hector: Can you do a new upstream release or at least an upload with
this patch? If not I'm tempted to do an NMU to keep mssh in Buster as
I rely on it a lot.

                Regards, Axel
