Package: bfh-gnome-desktop
Version: 20211009-1
Severity: serious
Justification: cannot migrate to testing with these dependencies in place
Control: block 993577 by -1

bfh-gnome-desktop Depends on gnome-shell-extension-remove-dropdown-arrows,
which is no longer relevant for GNOME Shell >= 40 (which doesn't have arrows
on drop-down menus anyway) and as a result is being removed from unstable.
Please drop the dependency, or maybe change it to something like

    Depends: gnome-shell (>= 40) | gnome-shell-extension-remove-dropdown-arrows

if compatibility with older Debian is desired.

It also Depends on gnome-shell-extension-hide-activities and
gnome-shell-extension-multi-monitors, which have not been updated for
GNOME 41 (#996061, #996066). Please drop those dependencies, or relax them
to Recommends or Suggests, or help to update those extensions if they are
important to you.

In general it is probably better to use Recommends rather than Depends for
any non-critical GNOME Shell extension. GNOME Shell does not have a stable
extension API, so all extensions potentially need updating every 6 months
for compatibility with the new GNOME Shell version.

Thanks,
