This will be the case with the next package of Nautilus.

Well, I think the discussion in the Debian BTS and upstream made it
clear that:
- it's not fully nautilus role to decide to manage the desktop or not
(it seems gnome-settings-daemon does this),
- nautilus already implements way of overriding its behavior (with
--no-desktop and a gconf key),
- nautilus is integrated in GNOME and complies to the GNOME HIG in
general, and hence focus on integration through the GNOME desktop,
not specially with other window managers than GNOME-compliant ones,
or with other environments such as KDE for example.
My personal conclusion is that this won't fix more upstream.
