To the best of my knowledge, Debian does not use ~/.xprofile when
starting a standard X session.  (If some specific package within Debian
does, then it's outside my experience, and also unique to that one
package.)

Debian *definitely* does not use ~/.profile if you login with a GUI
display manager (gdm3, lightdm, sddm, etc.).  ~/.profile is only used
by login shells (text console or sshd).

If you want to run an arbitrary X command when you start a Debian X
session, you can use the file ~/.xsessionrc which is a Debian-specific
addition.  This should work whether you login via a display manager,
or on a text console followed by 'startx'.  It should also work regardless
of which Desktop Environment, if any, is used.

If you're actually running a Wayland session, rather than an X session,
then I don't know how you should proceed.
