Bug#635171: gnome-shell depends on obseleted (& no longer available) libmozjs4d

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
libmozjs4d has been obseleted and removed from the debian repositories (I
believe due to a security vulnerability). Other packages that depended on it
such as gjs and libgjs0b have been re-built against libmozjs5d. Unfortunately
gnome-shell is still built against libmozjs4d and depends on it.
As a result gnome-shell is now uninstallable from the debian repositories.
Please re-build / re-define dependencies against libmozjs5d (or indeed
libmozjs6d).
N.B. I have not tried downloading the source and re-building it myself, since I
still have a copy of libmozjs4d installed, so I'm not sure if it is that simple
:)
