Ah, I noticed that just a while ago when I updated.

In truth, EOG was the only application still dependent on that old 
package (at least, installed on my system), so with it updated to use 
libgnome-desktop-3-7, I don't have a reason to keep libgnome-desktop-3-2 
around anymore.

That said, if there are any other applications that depend on 
libgnome-desktop-3-2 that I don't happen to have installed for whatever 
reason, you may still need to change its dependencies, or update those 
packages to use the newer libgnome-desktop-3-7 package.

(I don't see why the packages coming out for GNOME 3.8 would be 
depending on the older packages instead of libgnome-desktop-3-7, but 
then, I don't really understand how Debian's dependencies are tracked. I 
just notice when dependencies give me hell trying to get other things 
updated, heh.)
