commit 9ffe42153b56404b64ab6ecc40f487cb350beb4c
Author: Jeremy Bícha <jbicha@ubuntu.com>
Date:   Sun Oct 18 07:52:35 2026 +0200

    Add Depends: gsettings-desktop-schemas because it's required
    
    when running apps in wayland.
    
    In other words, on GNOME, this works:
    $ GDK_BACKEND=x11 gtk3-demo
    but this doesn't:
    $ gtk4-demo
    
    This is mitigated because Debian's gtk4 already indirectly depends on
    gsettings-desktop-schemas via libgstemaer-plugins-bad1.0-0
    but Ubuntu's gtk4 depends on libgstreamer-plugins-extra1.0-0
    instead which does not currently pull in gsettings-desktop-schemas
