Looking at the migration excuses for gnome-shell, I think we will need
something more like this:
remove gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock/69-1
remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/20.04.0+git20200908-8
remove gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast/1.1.0+git20210116.3252312-1
I'm not sure why the first two would block migration since they don't have
an upper limit on their version numbers, but those extensions haven't been
ported to gnome-shell 40, so they aren't going to work in practice anyway.
Unfortunately this transition has got caught behind glibc, so will likely
take a while to migrate. This seems to be a bug in glibc's mipsel symbols
file (I'll open a bug for that).
