Some people install gnome-shell as a way to have a very minimal GNOME
desktop. It is necessary for gnome-shell to have a dependency on a
desktop background. That could be either gnome-backgrounds for the
official GNOME set of desktop backgrounds or desktop-base for the
official Debian background.

If the dependency is anything other than the official GNOME
background, gnome-shell would also need to include a gsettings schema
override to set the desktop background. (That's not a problem.)

Thank you,
