Package: gnome-shell-extension-freon
Version: 48+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: bookworm sid
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: gnome-shell-43

This extension's dependencies say it is compatible with GNOME Shell
43~beta-1 (currently available in experimental), but its metadata
disagrees and does not list 43 as a compatible version. Depending how
it has been affected by changes in upstream GNOME Shell, it might need
real code changes, or just a metadata update.

Even if its JavaScript code is compatible with Shell 43, debian/control
will need updating for the final release of Shell 43. (I'd recommend using
gnome-shell (<< 44~) rather than gnome-shell (<< 44) as the upper bound for
the version range after it has been confirmed to be compatible with 44,
so that alphas and betas of 44 are treated as 44.)

If not updated, it will have to be removed from testing for the GNOME Shell
43 transition (see https://bugs.debian.org/1018118 for details). This bug
will be raised to serious severity when the transition is ready to go ahead.
