Control: affects -1 src:budgie-desktop It is awkward for a transition like the ongoing pygobject/libpeas transition to be stuck in Unstable so my thinking is that we wouldn't want to delay the transition too long for a desktop that isn't a default task for Debian and has relatively low popcon.
Removing budgie-extras from Testing won't help people already using Testing or Unstable with a configuration that would break. Here's one idea: budgie-extras could add a user-session-migration script to run the gsettings command to reset the panel configuration and reload Budgie. It's a single command that is easier than my gsettings command: https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/budgie-top-panel-settings-lost-after-reboot/2809 https://manpages.debian.org/user-session-migration user-session-migration scripts are designed to only run once. In my testing, trying to add a non-working applet will freeze the session but the session will work without that applet next login. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
