The desktop package is just the Electron runtime and some supporting
code, along with a dependency on the server package. You need to have the
server package as that's 99.999% of the pgAdmin code.

The -web package is only needed if you want to run under a webserver, and
essentially just contains the required config files for doing so and
a dependency on the -server package.
