But it is not desktop-save-mode that does it. As long as I do no
write-region the idle-time is not reset. So desktop-save-mode does not
reset idle time, but desktop-save-mode makes write region reset idle
time.

Well, I have to ask on the Debian mailing list then.

I just tried it on an Ubuntu system and I get the same results.

How do I get that?
