The crash turns out to be due to a combination of several things:
* the authd patches were disabled in latest src:gnome-shell, including the
definition of the missing key (presumably to make migration easier)
* the binary gnome-shell package could not upgrade through simple `apt upgrade`
due to some transition
* the interdependency between gnome-shell (which has the crashing code) and
gnome-shell-common (which holds the gsettings definitions) isn't using (=
${binary:Version}) but rather a manually defined boundary (>= 47~rc).
So I ended up with a partially upgraded system.
IMHO, not having a strict equality bound on this kind of relationship is
a straight bug.
