I would like this to be considered for Debian 13.0 if possible, but if
we're too late for that, it can be deferred to 13.1 by converting this
request into a trixie-pu request.

[ Reason ]

New upstream bugfix release

[ Impact ]

Several non-critical bug fixes of varying importance. In this particular release, many of them relate to accessibility, particularly for the Orca
screen reader.

The only changes in debian/ are updating the packaging branches to track
48.x (because 49.x development has already started, but will not be in
trixie), and fixing the Homepage field (an opportunistic 1-line bug fix
with no real regression risk).

[ Tests ]

I'm running the proposed version on my laptop and it works normally.
I've verified that gnome-shell#7456 is fixed; I haven't tried to
reproduce the other fixed issues.

[ Risks ]

It's a central package in our default desktop environment.

The changes are narrowly targeted, and seem proportionate to the
severity of what's being fixed: they either fix a significant problem in
a minimal way, or fix a low-severity problem with a change that seems
very low-risk. The noisiest are gnome-shell!3179 (which is mostly
GObject boilerplate, and fixes a real problem) and gnome-shell!3756
(which only touches comments).

The upstream project has generally been good about finding and fixing regressions, and we have often updated gnome-shell in Debian stable point releases in the past.

[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
