MATE Desktop is not yet fully packaged in Debian. We're still working on
it (you can check the status at
http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/status:debian).
mate-desktop package is just a package referring to the mate-desktop
library. Its description says "Library with common API for various MATE
modules", indeed. When MATE will be ready, there will be other meta
packages to install it.
