The final official GNOME 43 point release was in mid-September 2023.
Intentionally skipped
glib2.0 2.74.7: functionally equivalent to 2.74.6-2, no need to update (but we can go to 2.74.7 and drop patches whenever another change is needed)
glibmm2.4 2.66.5 -> 2.66.6 (in trixie): uninteresting
gnome-autoar 0.4.3 -> 0.4.4: adds new API
gnome-remote-desktop 43.3 -> 43.4 (in trixie): only adds Belarusian translation
gspell 1.12.0 -> 1.12.1 (in trixie): uninteresting
pango1.0 1.50.12 -> 1.50.14
template-glib 3.36.0 -> 3.36.1 (in trixie): uninteresting
vala 0.56.3 -> 0.56.9: vala falls under the toolchain freeze. While the update is unlikely to cause problems, rebuilding all its rdepends is enough of a headache that Ubuntu specifically excludes vala from their GNOME "microrelease exception" for stable release updates. This isn't a hard no, so let us know if you want to do the work.
To be evaluated for risk vs benefit tradeoff
deja-dup 44.0 -> 44.1 (in trixie)
gexiv2 0.14.0 -> 0.14.1 (in trixie)
geocode-glib 3.26.3 -> 3.26.4 (build tests were changed and need work so that they pass)
gjs 1.74.2 -> 1.74.3 (in Unstable) fixes memory leaks, crash, etc. but might introduce autopkgtest failures
gnome-boxes 43.2 -> 43.5 (in trixie) also add Depends: libvirt-clients for 1070204
gnome-builder 43.6 -> 43.7 (in trixie)
gnome-nibbles 3.38.2 -> 3.38.3 (in trixie)
gnome-video-effects 0.5.0 -> 0.6.0 (in unstable) 1037514 - new upstream release includes one new effect, updated translations, minor buildsystem fixes, and an important bugfix
grilo-plugins 0.3.15 -> 0.3.16 (in trixie): we definitely don't want the libsoup3 changes though
gucharmap 15.0.2 -> 15.0.4 (in trixie)
libadwaita-1 1.2.2 -> 1.2.4 (in trixie)
libgepub 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1 (in trixie) - only used now by tumbler which is an addon for xfce's thunar file browser. Unclear how common the crash is
libhandy-1 1.8.1 -> 1.8.2 (in trixie)
libnotify 0.8.1 -> 0.8.2 (in trixie)
rygel 0.42.1 -> 0.42.3 (in trixie)
gstreamer 1.22.0 -> 1.22.12: Packages, Upstream release notes
Candidates for Debian 12 updates needing a prerelease to be prepared
nautilus 43.2 -> 43.4 (also see 1035072 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2379) (in unstable)
gnome-boxes: should suggest Debian 12 instead of 11, maybe also 43.5
tracker-miners 3.4.3 -> 3.4.6 1053881 staged in Salsa but needs seccomp fix to be buildable first, see 1057617
gtk4 Once gtk4 4.12.5 is released and in Unstable, might be nice to backport the emoji chooser upgrade to Unicode 15.1 to accompany the emoji/gnome-characters backports included in Debian 12.4
