This seems to be progressing OK, after a bit of a fight with mozjs78
to get it passing tests on mipsen.

mutter transition is green:
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-mutter.html
* I think you can ignore the mutter row
* you can ignore the gnome-remote-desktop row, it has some weird
  dependencies to make sure it has a pipewire-enabled mutter without
  caring whether it's 3.36 or 3.38 (I'll probably simplify them after
  this transition is over)
* you can ignore gnome-shell-xrdesktop, it's RC-buggy and not in testing

The other important part of this transition is
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-upperlimit-gnome-shell.html
* please add a hint to remove gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast from
  testing (acked by maintainer in #971040)
* otherwise everything looks fine

Some third-party extensions will almost certainly be broken by the new
Shell without actually having their dependencies broken. The only one
I know about is gnome-shell-extension-hard-disk-led, which should maybe
be hinted out of testing too.

We also need to close #970883 to let gjs through, which I'll do at some
point before gnome-shell's migration timer runs out (or feel free to close
it at whatever time seems most appropriate if I don't get round to it).
