I am running Etch, and here's what I get when I check libgtk2.0-dev and
libgtk2.0-0:

What else have you got in your /etc/apt/sources.conf?  I think that if
you were just using Etch packages you'd be in good shape for this.  I
rebuild from CVS every few days on this system, and it's Etch +
backports and nothing else.
