Hm. It's not entirely clear to me that this core reworking is suitable
as an SRU. Particularly concerning is the NEWS file, the contents of
which are basically “1.90.4: did a core rework” followed by 1.90.5,
1.90.6, and 1.90.7 being “oops, the last release was broken”.

At least 1.90.8 is introduced as: “It seems that we are finally reaching
the end of the tunnel with regard to regressions” :).

It's not clear to me what the current state of fprintd is, and this
would help with risk assessment. If fprintd is currently unusable, or
largely so, then the large changes involved here are more acceptable. If
fprintd works for a reasonable proportion of users, then the large
changes here risk breaking them.
