Bug#667474: gnome-shell fails to start after upgrade to version 3.2.2.1-3

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading gnome-shell, gconf and pulse audio, gnome-shell becomes
unusable. gnome shell apparently fails to start because it still links
to libpulsecommon-1.0.so, which is no longer available:

josh at howlingfantods:~$ ldd /usr/bin/gnome-shell | grep pulse
	libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0 =>
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0 (0xb5eed000)
	libpulse.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse.so.0 (0xb5e9e000)
	libpulsecommon-1.0.so => not found
	libpulsecommon-1.1.so =>
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-1.1.so (0xb5654000)


After login the mouse is working, but it is impossible to launch
anything, since there's no interface available.

Logging into a console, using startx and setting the display var
allows one to launch a terminal (and from that terminal you can launch
whatever else you need including the window manager metacity).
Attempting to start gnome-shell from the terminal produces this error:

josh at howlingfantods:~$ gnome-shell
gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries:
libpulsecommon-1.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

and exits, so I assume this is the fatal error preventing from
starting, although there seems to be a heap of new problems (see
.xsession-errors below), possible related to the upgrade from gconf
2.x -> gconf 3.2.3.

This message was displayed while upgrading gconf (and which can be
read in the file /usr/share/doc/gconf/NEWS.Debian.gz):

gconf (3.2.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  GConf 3.x introduces important internal changes that allow it to drop
  obsolete ORBit libraries in favour of a new D-Bus interface.

  While the GConf API remains compatible, after a system running gconfd
  2.32 is upgraded to 3.2, newly launched applications will be unable to
  talk to the old daemon, and will fail to load their configuration.

  Simply restarting your X session will be enough to load the new gconfd
  and restore the affected functionality.

However restarting the xsession and even rebooting didn't help.


There apparently are several other items which no longer load properly.
Here's my .xsession-errors after logging in:
