** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  When you want to select a monospace font in gnome-terminal's profile
  editor, it does not always show the regular font but rather an
- arbitrarily chosen one. The proposed gtk+3.0 upload cherry picks an
- upstream commit which fixes it.
+ arbitrarily chosen one. The proposed gnome-terminal upload reverts an
+ upstream commit, which means that all weights/styles for monospace fonts
+ are shown. It takes us back to how it works in focal.
  
  [Test case]
  
- * Install the binaries built from gtk+3.0 in groovy-proposed
+ * Install the binaries built from gnome-terminal in groovy-proposed
  
  * Relogin
  
  * Open gnome-terminal -> Preferences and open the window for selecting a

- [ Regression risk ]
+ [Where problems could occur]
  
- The upstream commit was written explicitly to fix this issue, so the
- regression risk should be low. Please note that the only affected file
- is gtk/gtkfontchooserwidget.c, so the scope is very limited which in
- itself ought to limit the regression risk.
+ This is a one liner in gnome-terminal and does not affect other
+ applications. So given a successful verification of the test case, this
+ ought to be a safe change.
+ 
+ [Other info]
+ 
+ Please note that this particular change has not been made in hirsute.
+ The reason is that we intend to follow upstream there, which means that
+ the issue will be resolved through changes in gtk and pango.
