Good, so the bug report should stay open until somebody packages the
extension for Debian. Could you file an RFP or ITP, please?

Thanks for the hint! However, I'm not very happy installing any
software on my machine that does not come from Debian, because:

1. It is not in the package management, so I cannot set up a new
    machine as a copy from another one using
    dpkg --get/set-selections

2. In case newer gnome-shell in incompatible with the extension,
    it would not automatically deinstall it by "conflicts"

3. The software is installed "per user". The machine is used by
    three different users, who all would like to have it

4. The software is not upgraded by the normal, established process
    (apt-get, or whatever)

5. I cannot use the same bug tracker (Debian BTS) as for all other
    software

6. The software is not signed by a fellow DD - can I still trust it?

Anyway, I will try the menu extension. It's probably worth being
packaged for Debian!
