I see the whole stack works, except for gnome-shell itself which fails
build-time tests. We should open a bug for that and X-Debbugs-Cc the
mips team, so that they can't claim they had no opportunity to fix it.

I think this will require a reduced-scope version of
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1018076#86, removing
gnome-shell-dependent binary packages from gdm3 and meta-gnome3 on
mips{,64}el.

Sure. When someone (maybe me) gets round to uploading a 44-compatible
gnome-shell-extension-bluetooth-quick-connect, it will be in the same
situation.

I'm hoping that's resolvable before trixie. ebassi is working on it
upstream, but it seems xdg-desktop-portal needs to be involved too.
One day in my copious free time I should build a snapshot for
experimental - co-maintainers very welcome of course!
