It was not distribution-level breakage but upstream bugs. I immediately
observed multiple bugs in evolution:
- Evolution started to forget various UI settings
- icons were mixed up (showing incorrect icons in various places)

Under the impression that this is a buggy development version, I
downgraded to 3.54 from Trixie to avoid any damage.
I have not systematically tested these things on a dedicated test
system. I do not think that Debian is the best place to test bugs and
regressions in an upstream developer release.

Evolution follows the old convention where even release numbers are
stable and odd release numbers are for developers. This release is just
not meant for the general public, developers use it to try new things,
probably including things that will not land in the next stable 3.56.

Thanks for the info and for your contributions. In general, I support
the goal to have Gnome 48 in the next stable.

Please watch out for bugs and bug reports.
