Oh I see. Consider this link then:
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html
Especially chapter 2.2.2, which talks about GNOME 3.14.
Funny thing is - chapter 2.2.2 does not mention GNOME Classic at all.
Presumably because GNOME Classic was axed in GNOME 3.6 (or 3.8, or 3.10
- the memory fails me here).

Hey, *I* stopped using GNOME back then Debian stable was called etch.
But you don't need software to be installed to check its version because
they give you apt-cache. And if you don't like apt-cache - they give you
aptitude :)
