    d/p/debian, d/control: Set keyboard configuration the debian way
    
    Debian policy prohibits localed from setting the keyboard config.
    Instead, we shall use the keyboard-configuration package.
    
    Add a dependency on pkexec which we use to elevate privileges to run the
    keyboard configuration.

    Revert "debian/{rules,control}: Enable malcontent in ubuntu"
    
    Only parts of malcontent are in Ubuntu main.
    libmalcontent-ui depends on libflatpak which is a universe package.
    
    This reverts commit 88dafa242123e15482335e144f51a1006809a3a7.

    releasing package gnome-initial-setup version 49.0-3

commit 27927e779dc478ded65f069c50222f7caf9becad
Author: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Date:   Sun Oct 5 22:41:58 2025 +0100

    Use sysusers.d instead of adduser
    
    Upstream ships a sysusers.d file, so just use it instead of custom
    scripts in maintainer scripts. Also do not remove the system user
    on purge, as that is dangerous since any leftover file will be
    owned by an uid up for grabs.
