Control: block 996690 by -1

This package depends on clutter-1.0, which is no longer maintained
upstream (and has been effectively unmaintained for a while).

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/-/issues/31 has some porting
notes for projects that are part of GNOME, which might be useful
inspiration for porting this package.
