Want to mention that gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng has been
accepted into unstable at last.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng
It's a successor of gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons with more
features often desired by users. The -ng (new generation) project is
well maintained so far, and Ubuntu's desktop team participates actively
upstream since Ubuntu ships the -ng package by default (already in 21.04
and 21.10).
This speaks for giving up on gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in
Debian. Maybe turn it into a dummy which depends on
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng.
