[PureOS] Stuff done March 2022

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hi,

some information about packaging and other work I've done last month 
within PureOS.

After a break in February I've been able to do again various packaging 
stuff for PureOS.


* gnome-boxes
I've looked at the version delta between Debian and PureOS in gnome-boxes.
Due as usual great and useful help from Guido while looking into the 
stuff under the hood it turns out the PureOS specific patching isn't 
needed any longer as users in Debian bullseye (and by this also users of 
PureOS byzantium) are now a member of the group kvm by default and can 
access /dev/kvm without extra actions. Matthias dropped the old PureOS 
package of gnome-boxes and synced the version from Debian stable.
Thanks to Chris who has prepared and maintained the old patch for 
gnome-boxes!

* initramfs-tools
An update/sync for this packages was requested by Sebastian as the old 
version in PureOS was blocking other packages.
While updating the underlying source I've updated also the used branch 
name and metadata to get this in sync to the common standard in PureOS.

* gdm3
The Gnome Display Manager got a CVE related update in Debian and I've 
synced the latest version from Debian stable into byzantium.
Currently the update of the Jenkins CI for this package is awaiting 
approval.

Like in the past months I've also done some more smallish things 
probably not really worth to mention.


Package maintenance work in Debian
I've done also some maintenance task within Debian and worked on the 
following packages (so far I remember).
