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 > Removing gnome-shell also means we have to remove gdm3, gnome-session, and > various GNOME Shell extensions and other GNOME-Shell-dependent packages > from s390x.

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.
