I'm guessing that it "works" because of leftover files matching
"/var/lib/apt/lists/*dep11*". The corresponding files for testing and
unstable do not mention darktable.  On the other hand

  https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/index.html

also does not mention darktable. At a wild guess, something is installed
in the wrong place.

    $ appstream-util check-component org.darktable.darktable

    Using system/*/*/desktop/org.darktable.darktable/* for org.darktable.darktable
    Checking source: /usr/share/metainfo/org.darktable.darktable.appdata.xml

    • No desktop file
    • org.darktable.darktable has no Icon
    Failed to check component, 2 problems detected

I'm not sure why it claims there is no desktop file;

    /usr/share/applications/org.darktable.darktable.desktop

is there, and it works with rofi e.g.

   rofi -drun-categories Photography -show drun -show-icons
