Hi,
yesterday i started a
sudo apt-get -s -V dist-upgrade
and i get this:
Die folgenden Pakete werden ENTFERNT:
blueman (2.0-1)
cinnamon (2.6.8-1)
cinnamon-screensaver (2.6.3-1)
gir1.2-webkit2-3.0 (2.4.9-1)
libwebkit2gtk-3.0-25 (2.4.9-1)
After some research i found the reason:
// from unstable
gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-3.0 (2.4.9-1 => 2.4.9-2)
libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-0 (2.4.9-1 => 2.4.9-2)
If i set this packages to hold with:
sudo apt-mark [hold | unhold] <pkg>
cinnamon is not removed but these packages are held back:
gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-3.0 gir1.2-webkit-3.0 libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-0 libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
Be careful with d-u!

Hello lolli,
the debian gnome team does only check its own dependencies when preparing changes.
Quote from: changelog of webkitgtk* Disable libwebkit2gtk-3.0 packages. They have no rdeps anymore
and are superseded by src:webkit2gtk.
The debian cinnamon team is preparing a fixed cinnamon-screensaver, they must change from libwebkit2gtk-3.0-dev to libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev, it seems.

Hello,
we need to be patient. The current plan of the debian cinnamon team is:
"Let's wait for the migration of muffin, then we upload the new cinnamon."
Uploads need to be approved by the ftpmasters. Time goes by ...

Hello,
Users have reported RC-bugs against cinnamon, so the debian-cinnamon team took a shortcut and uploaded the needed package.
$ LC_MESSAGES=C apt-cache policy cinnamon-screensaver
cinnamon-screensaver:
Installed: 2.6.4-1
Candidate: 2.6.4-1
Version table:
*** 2.6.4-1 0
500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
cinnamon uses cinnamon-screensaver in a non-optional way.
The session doesn't start at all when cinnamon-screensaver is not present.
