This package was recently replaced by libgnome-desktop-2. Many packages
have not yet been rebuilt against the newer package, though, because not
all their dependencies have reached the autobuilders (and some have not
even been uploadod to the archive, I believe). This should be mosty
cleared up by later this week.
For now you can grab the old packages from snapshot.debian.net or build
the new packages from their source debs. Or you could wait (a few
months probably) until GNOME 2 is in sarge. The "testing" distribution
is kept on sync on all architectures, unlike unstable which is usually
broken to some degree, especially on non-i386 architectures where
autobuilders lag is more noticeable. Usually there is not quite as
much package churn as right now, though.
