In fact, paperwork-gtk depends on openpaperwork-gtk.
I agree that openpaperwork-* packages descriptions are not really helpful.
The basic idea is that openpaperwork-* is the core of the concept
implementation of paperwork and paperwork-* are the user interface
implementations. The upstream idea behind that is to allow different
implementations of user interfaces (e.g.: web interface, mobile
interface,…).
With paperwork 2.* there is a full support for plugins. You can check
which plugins are enabled with command lines:
$ paperwork-cli plugins list
$ paperwork-gtk plugins list
You can check the documentation on openpaperwork-core-doc or online[1]
which explains the core & plugins aspects.

My guess is you will have some issues because paperwork-gtk needs
plugins provided by openpaperwork-gtk (check the previous command).
Indeed openpaperwork-gtk should "Suggests: paperwork-gtk"
(at least).
Also the long description of the packages could be improved to avoid
users confusion.
Maybe the split of package is something that could be discussed,
especially the openpaperwork-gtk one which doesn't make a lot of sense
in retrospective.
I think splitting is all right as long as it's explained in the long description,
so that a quick inspection of the package makes it obvious which does what.
Note that the best way to install paperwork in to select the l10n
package that correspond to your language, e.g.: paperwork-gtk-l10n-*
because it depends on all localized dependencies and provides the
localization translations. I don't like that but I couldn't find a
correct way to depends on current user's localization.
That's nice.
Again, the "paperwork-gtk" package could tell that fact in its long description.

I (obviously) agree with that ;-)
Well bullseye is in soft freeze. Let's try to upload it asap to unstable,
(along with fixing the packages long descriptions and Suggests: as described above).
Also i noticed autopkgtests are failing with lots of these (see below).
This needs to be fixed.
