See :- > > http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs/main/c/cinnamon/unstable_changelog +bx means binary NMU (x increments from one). It's an automatic rebuild of a package (ie without any changes) when any build dependency has a major change that warrants a rebuild of dependant packages.

Unfortunately Nicolas is busy nowadays. The build process is mostly OK for them, expect that locales go to a cinnamon subdir as far as I can remember. But mostly it seems Cinnamon went into an x-window-manager alternative instead of an x-session-manager alternative. May try to fix everything, but don't count on me.
