MATE from upstream does conflict with other software. This isn't good, it's the most worse I can imagine and likely the reason that distros aren't interested to add it to official repositories. MATE is the only software I know available for Linux, that does conflict with common software. What Mate, Cinnamon and GNOME 3 still have in common is, that all three do not provide the advantages provided by GNOME 2 and they all add insane hard dependencies, at least PA and/or GVFS. The DE that is the closest to GNOME 2, regarding to all aspects, work-flow, "interaction" with other software, stability, needed resources, IMO is Xfce 4, plus Xfce upstream doesn't insist to add something as hard dependency that should be optional, so by default no PA and no GVFS are needed. +1 for Xfce The OP want's to know how to get latest stable upstream release version of Cinnamon for Debian, so IMO the "off-topic" notes we made are not completely OT. At least a package maintainer has to ensure that dependencies are fulfilled and that it's possible to install it while other software is installed too. Installing Gnome completely parallel to Mate e.g. is hardly possible.
