Two ways of resolving this are: Either the default GNOME3 session in Debian
switched back to Xorg, or the default desktop session is switched away from
GNOME; but I would much prefer the former.
The attached debdiff (bringing back the similar change from 2016) seems
to work for me (tested in a VM) but I would appreciate any additional
testing that folks could spare.
The debdiff is an NMU but I currently have no plans to upload it as such.

postpone switch to Wayland as default, again
This is a repeat of 569d7f50fe3a06908886cefc5168126197fec570 from
2016, postponing the switch to Wayland for the default Debian
desktop. See #927667 for discussion.
