Hey, gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock is not something that we (release team) are planning to accept ahead of Mantic release, so we're going to let it be in the unapproved queue and consider this for a 0-day SRU.

gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock is installed in Ubuntu Full install in the repository mantic/main so you (relese team) should explain...

Corrado, I think this is not a big deal. The deprecation warning is just a warning, so everything should still work even when using Meta instead of Mtk.

This is an update that we can also get at later point, so I think Utkarsh is fine to wait (and I also was expecting this to happen, thus I adapted the bug report to the SRU template).

Yes The deprecation warning is just a warning, but I have the log full of warning messages and i want debug a problem my journalctl is almost unusable

Only if a message happens frequently will it be a big performance problem. Because then it's triggering a filesystem journal flush every 5 seconds, which blocks in the log write, which blocks the shell, which is seen as screen stutter.

This bug is ready for verification. Due to the status mantic was in when the package was accepted, the tooling failed to add the template comment to this bug, and add the tags, and I did all of that manually now.
