Impact
------
There are now 2 apps in 22.04 LTS which allow configuring installed GNOME Shell Extensions:
- gnome-shell-extension-prefs -- built as part of gnome-shell (but in universe & not installed by default)
- gnome-shell-extension-manager -- this one additionally allows installing new extensions. Neither Firefox nor Chromium in Ubuntu have the Native Messaging Portal hooked up to allow chrome-gnome-shell to work. This makes gnome-shell-extension-manager the only GUI way in 22.04 LTS currently to install extensions from extensions.gnome.org.

GNOME Tweaks has a hard dependency on only the first app. The dependency was added years ago when Tweaks had a code dependency on the extensions app. The Tweaks app no longer has any features to manage installed Extensions. Therefore, I'm demoting this dependency to Suggests.

Test Case
---------
Install the new GNOME Tweaks version.
sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-prefs should work.
