Alexander,
Many thanks for the quick response. Yes, I had selected "Debian" mode (I
mis-read the help text during the upgrade). dpkg-reconfigure with
mode=GNOME has exactly the intended and desired effect.
In short: There's no bug according to the criteria given. I'd argue
there's a bug or feature-request to Upstream for parameters in the pref,
but now I'm splitting hairs.
