I'm simply requesting that the Mate desktop be an install option (as opposed to gnome 3) when setting up debian, once wheezy releases. http://mate-desktop.org/ I did a test install a month or two ago, worked fine. Didn't like the gnome 3 much. Mate gave me back my familiar desktop, just like gnome 2 in squeeze (and earlier releases). also if Mate is an dist-upgrade path from gnome 2, that would be nice.
After not finding a mate package in debian, and after looking at the relevant bug report (#658783), I see that mate is not available in debian. The freeze has already happened and it seems that mate missed the chance of getting included with wheezy.
