Hi Morten, With its thousands of packages, Debian is not so rich in manpower, so if the current maintainers of GTK+ 1.2 want to abandon it and the QA team is not interested in keeping it, there is no other choice than to adopt it (and its 43 bugs) if you want it to stay in Debian. It had less than upload per year since 2003, so maybe it is doable. Also, I think that it is possible to opt-out security support if this an issue (but it might make the package unfit for release). In our experience with GAMGI (http://www.gamgi.org/), GTK+ 1.2 was indeed useful to prepare a preliminary package that helped to convince Upstream to GTK 2.0.
