Bug Description
[ Description ]
Take this new upstrem stable release.
It was easiest for me to merge the latest release in this series from Debian, and then import the subsequent point releases on top of that.
Visually in the diff there is one change resulting from this: splitting a two-patch upstream cherry pick into two individual patch files. This is cleaner anyway IMO, but is also no change if you look at the resulting patched source.

[ QA ]
Upstream release, so QA already performed by maintainers
https:/
This upload will trigger many autopkgtests that we expect to not be regressed by this upload.
[ What could go wrong ]
This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some functions returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime implications, up to the system simply crashing all the time.
Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop, that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like GNOME terminal, Files and Epiphany.
