I wonder why this isn't a problem in Fedora, where malcontent-control has already been in the gnome-control-center (instead of deps) recommends[1] for quite some time.

Anyway, if this is unfixable in Debian (and Ubuntu) without disabling malcontent support, the only alternative is reverting the compulsory_for_desktop tag removal in malcontent 0.13.0 (after this update lands in Debian):

(The if is there only for RHEL where malcontent support is disabled; it is enabled in Fedora.)
