Ubuntu(2.0.9-0ubuntu3.1) is currently carrying diff in d/control on adding non transitional polkitd deps, which debian already included in the latest version

lightdm-gtk-greeter (2.0.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/watch updated to fix signature download
  * New upstream version 2.0.9
    - trim whitespace in username (Closes: #785237)
  * d/control: replace pkg-config b-dep by pkgconf

In this case, there is no need for the diff we carry. We should sync lightdm-gtk-greeter rather than merge with the latest Debian version (2.0.9-1)

I have uploaded this package for testing here: https://launchpad.net/~0xnishit/+archive/ubuntu/devel-packages-ppa

The delta from:

lightdm-gtk-greeter (2.0.9-0ubuntu3.1) plucky; urgency=medium

• debian/control: Depends on the non transitional polkitd

Is not the only delta in this package. I see at least the file debian/01_ubuntu.conf would be dropped.

I suggest to look at the last merge that was done:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/2.0.8-2ubuntu1

• Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
  • debian/{01_ubuntu.conf,60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf,rules} add and
    install.
  • debian/control:
    • Build-Depends on liblightdm-gobject-1-dev instead on
      liblightdm-gobject-dev as it's non-existing in archive.
    • Install desktop-base as a suggestion, not as a recommendation
      (LP: #1669818)
    • Remove Breaks/Replaces on older budgie-lightdm-theme, lightdm,
      and lightdm-gtk packages
  • debian/copyright: update copyright for lightdm-gtk-greeter.
  • debian/patches/git_indicators_loading.patch,
    debian/patches/git_libexec_atspi.patch,
    debian/patches/git_new_systemd.patch:
    • Dropped, included upstream.
