It's that time of year again: a new GNOME Shell release has changed the 
API presented to extensions, and therefore requires changes in GNOME 
Shell extensions.

In this case it seems that there has already been a new v54 release that 
supports GNOME 50.

GNOME Shell 50.0 is currently available from experimental. If the 
changes that are necessary for GNOME 50 are backwards-compatible with 
GNOME 49, please upload them to unstable, similar to what was done for 
gnome-shell-extension-arc-menu. If not, please upload them to 
experimental to start with, and then re-upload to unstable when the 
GNOME 50 transition begins, similar to what was done for 
src:gnome-shell-extensions.

When the rest of the necessary packages are ready and the release team 
gives the go-ahead to do the transition, bug reports like this one will 
be raised to serious.

Thanks,
     smcv
