Thanks for breaking this package up into one package per extension, I'm glad the DFSG team allowed you to make that change. Instead of removing gnome-shell-extensions-extras immediately, perhaps it would make sense to turn it into an empty transitional package with Depends or Recommends on all the extensions that it used to contain (or at least the ones that are still available for GNOME Shell 50), keep that transitional package until after forky is released, and then remove it? That would give users a smooth upgrade path from trixie. Any bugs in gnome-shell-extensions-extras that have been fixed in the individual extensions could be closed in the same upload of gnome-shell-extensions-extras that converts it into an empty transitional package. smcv

The past two debian releases have show that it's not sustainable to maintain (#1030683) a few gnome-shell-extensions like that and moving *all* gnome-shell-extensions into one source package seems not sensical either. Once they leave NEW, I'll ask for the removal of gnome-shell-extensions-extras. Regards, Daniel
