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.
