>> IMHO, not having a strict equality bound on this kind of relationship
is a straight bug.

> The equality bound was removed after bug 2077232

So I was considering using something like
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-
shell/-/commit/11caf605bf06a536e to set upper bounds too.

But then I definitely think that indeed also from the gnome-shell side it's 
completely wrong not to have a strict dependency on binary versions: 
 - gnome-shell package contains libraries and typelib files that exposes 
internal APIs
 - gnome-shell-common package includes JS code (in the resource files) that may 
consume those APIs

Not to mention that the common package exposes also the `.gir` files
that are the "sources" of those typelibs, and again having a version
mismatch there isn't correct.

So... If #2077232 happens again we need to figure out what's causing it,
but it's definitely not a shell problem.

Title:
  gnome-shell 48 breaks on partial upgrades

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Due to gnome-shell not having a strict version equality on gnome-
  shell-common, `apt` can easily upgrade the latter while holding back
  the former, e.g. due to transition.

  In 48~beta-1ubuntu1, the authd patches were disabled, so gnome-shell-
  common 48 had no knowledge of the authd gsettings keys that gnome-
  shell 47 (held back by APT), resulting in GDM not showing the password
  dialog.
