I am too: I can't find any google hits for gvfs-fuse3, and neither
https://packages.debian.org/ nor https://tracker.debian.org/
can find it. The only mention is:

  AI Overview

  GVfs-fuse3 is a package that provides limited access to GVfs
  filesystems for applications that don't use GIO: 

  GVfs-fuse3

  What it does
  Exports GVfs mounts to applications that use FUSE

  Part of
  GVfs, a userspace virtual filesystem

  Dependencies
  Includes fuse3

  GVfs is a userspace virtual filesystem that uses D-Bus to
  communicate with mounts that run as separate processes.
  It has a set of backends that support trash, SFTP, SMB, HTTP,
  DAV, and more. GVfs also has modules for GIO that implement
  volume monitors and persistent metadata storage. 

but that could be AI just parroting.

Cheers,
David.
