[Bug 1765389] Re: [FFe] Drop unrelated changes from revert-prce2.patch

[Rico Tzschichholz]

** Description changed:

- There is an issue with revert-prce2.patch of vte2.91. It includes some unrelated reverts which
- are changing the gir/vapi API in unnecessary ways compared to vanilla upstream.
+ [Impact]
  
- Test-Build:
- https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+sourcepub/8991295/+listing-archive-extra
+  * revert-prce2.patch includes some unrelated reverts which are
+    changing the gir/vapi API in unnecessary ways compared to
+    vanilla upstream. Therefore projects using this binding will
+    require distro-patching to accommodate for that.
+    Users of vte-2.91.vapi and Vte-2.91.gir/typelib are such candidates.
+  * vte-2.91.vapi is a buildtime dependency
+  * Vte-2.91.typelib is a runtime dependency with immediate effect on users.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  *
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte2.91/+bug/1765389/+attachment/5122590/+files/vte-2.91.vapi.diff
+ shows the current unwanted changes of the vala bindings
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * This change breaks the API of vala bindings and the API/ABI of
+    Vte-2.91.typelib
+  * Packages using this specific API would have already received
+    distro-patches which should be dropped.
+  * I am currently not aware of such packages in the archive.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * Test-Build: https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+sourcepub/8991295/+listing-archive-extra
