Are you perhaps referring to GNOME Shell?

Gnome Panel is enabled by default as it is the panel you get in the
Classic session.

Also, I don't have a "gnome-panel-session" package. To get Shell I had
to install "gnome-shell" and "gnome-session".

Assuming that you are referring to GNOME Shell and not Panel, then that
would be correct. Trisquel does not "fall back" to the Classic session
like other distros. Instead, it uses only the Classic session
(gnome-session-fallback) and does not install Shell (gnome-session) at all.
