It is not restricted to gsettings although gsettings is a good use case for it. Here's an example where it's used for something else: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-boxes/-/commit/b536a968eb192 It would be nice if the upstream developers would handle user session migrations tasks themselves, but they often don't. > > Package: dh-migrations > > Provides: dh-sequence-migrations > > Description: debhelper extension for session-migration support > > This package provides a debhelper extension to perform session migration > > operations on the installed packages. > > This also seems extremely generic.

Despite being around for a decade, it looks like it's only used by about 6 current Ubuntu source packages so a rename is doable if needed. I think I wouldn't even need a transitional package since we'd rebuild all those Ubuntu packages which would get them the properly named dependency. Here's a suggestion: user-session-migration dh-migrate-user-session Providing dh-sequence-migrate-user-session Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
