d/cinnamon.lintian-overrides: remove obsolete dbus-send override
The on-screen keyboard desktop file now uses cinnamon-dbus-command
instead of dbus-send, so the desktop-command-not-in-package override
for dbus-send is no longer needed.

d/rules: update NetworkManager meson option for 6.6
Upstream 6.6 replaced the boolean -Ddisable_networkmanager option with
a combo -Dnm_agent option (choices: internal, external, disabled).
On Linux the default "internal" builds the integrated NM agent, so no
flag is needed. On non-Linux architectures NM support is now disabled
via -Dnm_agent=disabled.

d/control: add gir1.2-ibus-1.0 to cinnamon deps
The IBus GObject Introspection typelib is imported unconditionally in
core Cinnamon shell code at startup:
- js/misc/ibusManager.js (IBus.init(), version check)
- js/ui/keyboardManager.js (keyboard layout management)
- js/misc/inputMethod.js (input method framework)
- js/ui/ibusCandidatePopup.js (candidate window)
All loaded from js/ui/main.js without try/catch guards. The typelib is
not covered by ${gir:Depends} since IBus is not used in the C code.
gir1.2-ibus-1.0 was only pulled in transitively via "ibus"
in Recommends, but installing with --no-install-recommends would cause
Cinnamon to crash at startup.

d/control: remove python3-distro from cinnamon deps
No "import distro" exists anywhere in the codebase. The dependency seems
unused.

d/control: remove gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 from cinnamon deps
libgnomekbd is dead upstream and its removal from Debian
has been proposed for forky (see #1123771).
The GObject Introspection binding (Gkbd) is never imported anywhere in
the cinnamon codebase — no gi.require_version('Gkbd', ...) or related
import exists.
So gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 can be removed.
gkbd-capplet is kept for now as its binary gkbd-keyboard-display is
still used for keyboard layout preview in InputSources.py,
AddKeyboardLayout.py and the keyboard applet.
It seems that the code partially supports this, but not entirely, this
needs to be verified further.

d/control: add ibus to cinnamon recommends
This (and its ibus-gtk* recommends) is needed for on-demand
activation of Cinnamon's OSK by applications.
Having ibus-daemon present also prompts cinnamon-session to add
QT_IM_MODULE variables to the environment.
https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/commit/33774a8a3515552b01d43fb557ef7e6909e080b3
We'll have to see if is enough a more small than ibus
