I've now uploaded gnome-shell 40 to unstable, so gnome-shell extensions
incompatible with that version will soon become uninstallable. See
#992870 for more information on this transition.

budgie-desktop is not directly related to gnome-shell, but it's part of
the libmutter transition, so it is in a similar situation.

If new versions suitable for this transition were uploaded
to experimental already, please upload to unstable, or ask
debian-gtk-gnome at lists.debian.org or #debian-gnome if a team upload or
NMU would be helpful.

If versions compatible with GNOME 40 are not yet available, please update
and test the extension if possible, or ask for its removal if it is not
feasible to update it.

Release team: you might want to remove incompatible extensions from
testing if they can't be fixed soon, leaving the incompatible version
available in unstable as a basis for updates. I'll try to follow up to
#992870 soon with a list of unfixed packages.
