Not 'replaced' per se. gnome-packagekit is not a new software - as far
as Debian concerned - it predates jessie. Its features are inferior to
synaptic, which is what one can expect from the GNOME software, so its
no wonder that its popularity was low in Debian. Until now, that is, as
gnome-packagekit seem to be the only viable alternative to synaptic
assuming the user will run a Wayland session.
And said session is the default with GNOME, as of buster.

As I wrote, gnome-packagekit ain't new. I expect that [1] will be
updated sooner or later though.

I suggest you to update [2]. After all, they made this page for a
reason, and it provides obsolete information as of buster.
