There was a longer-standing error in libbonoboui packaging which rendered pretty much all of GNOME neither installable nor buildable. That has been recently resolved and the buildd is currently following the Debian GNOME team uploading 2.14 to unstable. No bad surprises so far, but it will take a while till all the programs are available, and some might need fixing with respect to things like avahi or gstreamer which we don't have. I'll make an announcement here when all is built and ready for testing. For now, I suggest using XFCE4 if you need a graphical desktop (if that one installs properly right now).
