The problem is that the DEP-11 icons and metadata need to be present.
'sudo apt update' will download them for you. unattended-upgrades will
do it in the background but you may have to wait a day for that to
run.

gnome-software is always running as a background app and in this case,
it looks like it needs to be restarted (manually or by logging out and
logging back in) for it to recognize the updated DEP-11 files.

I suggest talking to the debian-installer people about this bug.

Thanks,
