+zenity (3.44.0-2) experimental; urgency=medium
+
+  * Team upload
+  * d/control.in, d/rules: Disable WebKit integration (--html option).
+    This adds several "heavy" dependencies, notably WebKit itself, but
+    also video and spellchecking among others, which are undesired for
+    a simple interactive dialog.
+    The WebKit feature is disabled by default upstream, and several
+    major distributions (including at least the Fedora/Red Hat family,
+    Arch and openSUSE) don't enable it in their packaging, so portable
+    software cannot rely on this option being available. According to
+    codesearch.debian.net, none of the packages with a dependency on
+    zenity use the --html option.
+    The beginning of the Debian 13 cycle seems a good time to make this
+    sort of potentially disruptive change; most likely nobody will notice
+    this feature going away, but if we get bug reports, we can consider
+    other options such as having a zenity-minimal package without HTML
+    support, or having a zenity-full package with it.
+    (Closes: #777608, #942362)
+  * d/control.in: Remove version constraints in Build-Depends unnecessary
+    since bullseye (oldstable)
+    - libgtk-3-dev
+    - libnotify-dev
+    - meson
