There's a few workarounds I can think of - conditional versioned dependency, that drops to an unversioned requirement on GNOME Shell if on Rawhide. This might slow down the detection of broken extensions though, because they'll still be silently installable. Maybe expose that as a choice to the package maintainers - have the package maintainer disable the dependency generator (or tell it to generate an unversioned dependency) - update with --allowerasing and temporarily switch to installing the extension from extensions.gnome.org We'll discuss this at the meeting - at the very least some additional user facing documentation might be needed.
