This is the second time in recent memory that gnome-shell-common has
caused upgrades grief. In this case, I don't think requiring equal
versions is sensible:

Package: gnome-shell
  ...
  gnome-shell-common (= ${source:Version}),

The main ABIs of gnome-shell-common are /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas and
those don't change very often, so we should either:

 (a) Automatically depend on the upstream version prefix without Debian 
suffixes; or
 (b) Manually depend on the last version where the "common" ABI actually 
changed (risky because we'll forget).

That doesn't help this bug right now, but it will prevent it happening
again.
