The GNOME team recently uploaded a version of gjs that uses mozjs128,
which is not available on armel. For this to be able to migrate, we'll
need to remove the old binaries for gjs from armel, together with packages
that depend on it.

First, please remove only the NBS gdm3 binary package (but *not* its
other binary packages such as libgdm1!) as requested in #1082122.

Then, please remove all armel packages that were built by one of these
source packages:

eos-sdk
foliate
gnome-characters
gnome-maps
gnome-shell
gnome-shell-extension-manager
gnome-shell-extension-panel-osd
gnome-shell-pomodoro
gnome-sound-recorder
gnome-sushi
gpaste
polari

These packages are listed as having their Build-Depends broken by removal
of gjs, but I believe they are false positives and should not be removed,
because they all build-depend on gjs [amd64 arm64 armhf ...] or
gjs [!armel !s390x] or similar:

- gdm3
- glade
- libguestfs
- libsecret
- ostree

Similarly these packages are listed as having their Build-Depends broken
by removal of gjs/gnome-shell/etc., but I believe they are false positives
and do not need to be removed, because they only build Architecture: all
binaries and therefore do not need to be buildable on armel:

- arc-theme
- gnome-shell-extension-caffeine
- gnome-shell-extensions-extra

Thanks,
