You'd want Breaks: gnome-shell (<= 3.8) instead.

Perhaps this should be included as part of the gnome-shell-extensions
package instead? There's also the fact that gnome-shell extensions
often break between each major release; if the upstream developer(s)
for your package don't keep their extension updated, this package
might not last very long in Debian.
