What problem are you trying to solve? That file is not a part of gnome-shell. libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev provides that symlink already, but it shouldn't be necessary at run-time

It does not AFAIK.

Sorry, I means libclutter-1.0-dev, which does provide that symlink. Anyhow, gnome-shell definately shouldn't be providing that symlink, so this bug report is invalid. The gnome-shell issue is already being tracked in bug 413497, so I'm going to close this bug report.
