Please see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1017448

RM: nautilus-image-converter -- RoQA; unmaintained, doesn't work with
nautilus 43

"""
nautilus-image-converter was orphaned years ago. [1]
The upstream project has been archived so is no longer receiving bug
reports or fixes. [2]

Nautilus 43 is a major change to the extension API. It would require
someone to convert nautilus-image-converter to GTK4.
"""

Therefore, please remove nautilus-image-converter from Debian.

So nautilus-image-converter is not likely to be added back to testing or
sid, the problem lies with the upstream code, not the Debian packaging.
