I filed https://bugs.debian.org/910701 and
https://bugs.debian.org/910702 requesting that 2 gnome-shell
extensions with arch:any binaries build-depend on gjs.

I already made that change for meta-gnome3 (for the gnome and
gnome-core arch:any metapackages).

We'll also want the cortina removal completed: https://bugs.debian.org/910599

I am under the assumption that we don't need to worry about arch: all
packages that depend on packages not available on s390x.

Let me add to your list:
gdm3
gnome
gnome-core

And you don't need to worry about
gnome-weather (arch: all)
gpaste (doesn't need gjs on s390x, as of 3.30.1-1 in experimental)
seed-webkit2 (doesn't build on s390x already)

It might be possible to make gnome-sound-recorder arch: all.

Thanks,
