Please sync gnome-desktop3 40.2-2 (main) from Debian experimental (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * Merge with debian, remaining changes:
    - Add 04_compute_average_color.patch: Compute the avergage color in
      gnome-desktop itself, not in unity to fix some races (LP #963140)
    - Add tweak_color_computation.patch, Patch from Gord, no patch header,
      no bug link.
    - debian/control.in: Build-Depend on language-pack-gnome-he for build tests
    - debian/rules:
      + Specify gettext domain for dh_translations.

- The language-pack dependency is not needed since the build tests work fine
  without it. The build generates the locales it needs.

- I added the translation domain to Debian since we've added similar
  overrides in Debian in libgweather and glib2.0

- That leaves 2 patches. Both of the patches take an existing function to
  determine the "average" color of the desktop wallpaper and tweak it
  so that it looks at the left side of the wallpaper since that's where
  the Ubuntu Dock is. The patches are old.
  As far as I can tell, that function isn't actually used by anything in
  Ubuntu excluding the remnants of Unity. I checked gnome-shell, mutter,
  and both our default extensions. I checked codesearch.debian.net.
  The patches are an interesting idea but it's only helpful where
  a desktop wallpaper is asymmetrical with different colors on the left side.
  My opinion is that it's not worth maintaining a Debian diff for an
  unimportant Unity tweak.

  (One side note, the gnome-desktop patched code was copied into
   unity-greeter and its 2 forks, arctica-greeter and slick-greeter.
   But it's a code copy so it doesn't matter what we do in gnome-desktop.)
