Of course it has to do with libgnome-desktop-3.0
Not to mention libgail and glibmm. Your Debian GNOME 3.2 list is false. http://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-3.2-status.htmlYou cannot upgrade to libgnome-desktop-3.2 without breaking gnome-shell, evolution and several other packages.
A simple sudo apt-get upgrade after you install gnome-shell 3.2.1 by hand reveals all the packages that will be dumped when trying to upgrade including gnome-shell 3.2.1.
Regarding the Status of glibmm: It claims all architectures are ready when they aren't even close. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libglibmm-2.4-1c2a
experimental <http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libglibmm-2.4-1c2a>(libs): C++ wrapper for the GLib toolkit (shared libraries)2.30.0-1: armel hurd-i386 i386 powerpc s390
Sorry, but how is it that armel, powerpc and s390 have built packages before the most common architecture, amd64?
I won't even comment on hurd. Any time I see a hurd package before the rest of the options I have to shake my head. The priority seems to imply availability of hardware first and serving the most commonly used architecture first.

TBH I'm not really sure what you are complaining about. Please be more verbose what your problem is.I think the problem is with libgail. When doing an aptitude install gnome-shell/experimental, it can't find a solution where major parts of gnome wouldn't be removed. The best it could do, without keeping gnome-shell at 3.0 is: The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) gnome 2) gnome-core 3) gnome-desktop-environment 4) libgail-3-common Install the following packages: 5) gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 [0.6.15-1 (unstable)] Upgrade the following packages: 6) gir1.2-gtk-3.0 [3.0.12-2 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] 7) gjs [1.29.0-2+b1 (now, unstable) -> 1.30.0-1 (experimental)] 8) libgail-3-0 [3.0.12-2 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] 9) libgjs0b [1.29.0-2+b1 (now, unstable) -> 1.30.0-1 (experimental)] 10) libglib2.0-0 [2.28.8-1 (now, unstable) -> 2.30.1-2 (experimental)] 11) libglib2.0-0-dbg [2.28.8-1 (now, unstable) -> 2.30.1-2 (experimental)] 12) libglib2.0-bin [2.28.8-1 (now, unstable) -> 2.30.1-2 (experimental)] 13) libglib2.0-dev [2.28.8-1 (now, unstable) -> 2.30.1-2 (experimental)] 14) libgtk-3-0 [3.0.12-2 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] 15) libgtk-3-bin [3.0.12-2 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] 16) libgtk-3-common [3.0.12-2 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] 17) libgtk-3-dev [3.0.12-2 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] 18) libmutter0 [3.0.2.1-4 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] 19) mutter-common [3.0.2.1-4 (now, unstable) -> 3.2.1-1 (experimental)] This seems to happen because libgail-3-common has a dependency on libgail-3-0 (= 3.0.12-2), and libgail-3.0 would be upgraded to 3.2.1-1, breaking libgail-3-common. And gnome-core depends on libgail-3-common, and that's where all hell breaks loose. (an updated libgail-3-common does not seem to be available in experimental). I'm not entirely sure this is related to the original report, as it has nothing to do with libgnome-desktop-3.0 as far as I see, but it sure prevents one from installing gnome-shell from experimental. At least, if one does not wish to remove a few handy meta packages.
