Description in preparation - Needs Packaging tag/Ubuntu Sponsors etc to be added to the report

As part of Ubuntu Budgie support for 19.04 Disco version of Nautilus, the project is intending to use an existing project called DesktopFolder to provide the desktop-icons capability that its users expect.

This issue has been raised to request sponsorship of this package

Note: This is a backstop request - I am pursuing sponsorship via Debian; it has been sponsored but is awaiting Archive Admin authorisation (New Queue).

Given the upcoming transition, soft freeze etc dates for Debian Buster and the rather lengthy New queue, I am requesting this also for Ubuntu just in-case DesktopFolder is not processed before the new package freezes occurs.

Important - Nautilus 3.30 is now in Disco proposed and Ubuntu Budgie hopes to enable its testers to test Nautilus 3.30 in conjunction with DesktopFolder.

I will obviously withdraw this request if auth by Debian AA is given.
