The packages that trigger this transition (gjs, gnome-desktop3, mutter and
gnome-shell) have now built on all release architectures (and apparently
gnome-shell now passes its build-time tests on s390x again, although as
before it's anyone's guess whether it works or is practically useful).

Sub-transitions involved in this:

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-mutter.html
- budgie-desktop needs sourceful changes (#952639, fixed in experimental) -
  David, please could you upload the changes from experimental into unstable?
- gnome-shell-xrdesktop needs a new upstream release (#956147)

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-gnome-desktop3.html
- Should be ready to start binNMUs
- Please binNMU xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in experimental too
- No point in binNMUing budgie-desktop due to the mutter transition
- No point in binNMUing gnome-shell-xrdesktop due to the mutter transition

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-upperlimit-gnome-shell.html
- -appindicator needs sourceful changes (#956451, fixed in experimental)
- -easyscreencast needs sourceful changes (#956166)
