Part of the argument for requiring the package being SRU'ed to be
available in the release to which you'd upgrade is that we don't want to
regress users when they upgrade to the next release or prevent their
ability to upgrade by creating a scenario for which an upgrade cannot be
calculated. Having said that I installed the libsecret binary packages
from -proposed for Focal and then attempted an upgrade from Focal to
Groovy, this was successfully calculated and the libsecret binary
packages were kept at the same version. Subsequently, I think it is okay
to release libsecret for Focal.

Title:
  SRU the current 0.20.4 stable update

Status in libsecret package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in libsecret source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact

  That's the current GNOME stable update, including some bugfixes and 
translation updates
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsecret/-/blob/master/NEWS

  There are non trivial changes to the meson build system included in
  the update but we still build using autotools so that's not impacting
  us

  
  * Test case

  The update is part of GNOME stable updates
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

  Libsecret is providing an API to access gnome-keyring secrets, try a few 
applications using it and make sure credentials are correctly available. To 
list a few possible candidate softwares
  - evince (try to open a a password protected pdf, it should store and 
remember the password)
  - evolution
  - epiphany-browser 
  - vinagre
  - balsa
  - deja-dup

  * Regression potential

  Nothing specific to try in those changes, just ensure the library
  still access the passwords as expected
