Don't know if this helps ...
I ran 'gnome-software --verbose' and got this message several times:
(gnome-software:5189): Gs-DEBUG: cannot find plugin 'packagekit-refine'
And I noticed that the very last line of output was:
(gnome-software:5189): As-DEBUG: run GsPlugin::apt(gs_plugin_refine)
After that the terminal was hung with no more output.
I looked at the Debian package list at
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/gnome-software/filelist
it does include a lot of packagekit libraries.
The contents of my plugin dir:
$ ls -1 /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9
libgs_plugin_appstream.so
libgs_plugin_apt.so
libgs_plugin_dpkg.so
libgs_plugin_dummy.so
libgs_plugin_epiphany.so
libgs_plugin_fwupd.so
libgs_plugin_hardcoded-blacklist.so
libgs_plugin_hardcoded-featured.so
libgs_plugin_icons.so
libgs_plugin_menu-spec-categories.so
libgs_plugin_menu-spec-refine.so
libgs_plugin_moduleset.so
libgs_plugin_provenance.so
libgs_plugin_snappy.so
libgs_plugin_ubuntu-reviews.so
