This package was recently replaced by libgnome-desktop-2. Many packages have not yet been rebuilt against the newer package, though, because not all their dependencies have reached the autobuilders (and some have not even been uploadod to the archive, I believe). This should be mosty cleared up by later this week. For now you can grab the old packages from snapshot.debian.net or build the new packages from their source debs. Or you could wait (a few months probably) until GNOME 2 is in sarge. The "testing" distribution is kept on sync on all architectures, unlike unstable which is usually broken to some degree, especially on non-i386 architectures where autobuilders lag is more noticeable. Usually there is not quite as much package churn as right now, though.
