This package depends on gir1.2-clutter-1.0 from clutter-1.0, which is no longer maintained upstream (and has been effectively unmaintained for a while). Confusingly, mutter/gnome-shell contain a fork of clutter, also named "Clutter" in APIs, which *is* maintained. If the only places this Shell extension refers to "Clutter" are in a GNOME Shell extension, then it does not need to depend on gir1.2-clutter-1.0, and the dependency can be removed. If this extension contains independent helper programs that run outside Shell's execution environment, and *those* import Clutter, then they should be ported from GTK 3 and Clutter to GTK 4 and libadwaita. <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/-/issues/31> has a bit more information on this. However, from a quick glance at codesearch.debian.net, I don't think that's actually the case. Thanks, smcv
