Hi. This is all FYI and does not require any action on your side :-) The above attempt at dropping gtk2 was still in HEAD in the salsa repo and made the package (or the repository) not to be in good shape. Since I wanted to make a team upload, I've first done a "tidy up" commit to put the repo in sync with version 4.44.1+dfsg-7.1 (i.e. the NMU where the time_t transition happened). This allowed me to add the missing tag for the NMU in a way which was clearly visible when doing "git log". The gtk2 commits, even if reverted, have not been lost because they are still in the history, but if there is a real need to put them somewhere in a way that they can be tested, I suggest using a branch. Thanks.
