Thats an interesting apt quirk, just list all the packages at once:
auric{jgg}~/apt2/build/bin#./apt-get install task-helix-gnome task-helix-core
sawfish-gnome rep-gtk-gnome libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2: Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2 (= 0.9.0-0.2) but 0.9.0-helix5
is to be installed
rep-gtk-gnome: Depends: rep-gtk (= 0.14-1) but 0.14-helix2 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
Tada.
This appears to be because the helix folks are mixing and matching
libraries from debian and them. they were supposed to be using the debian
versions :|
For instance if I use the new APT I can resolve this..
auric{jgg}~/apt2/build/bin#./apt-get install task-helix-gnome
libgdk-pixbuf2=o=debian rep-gtk=o=debian
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Selected version 0.9.0-0.2 (Debian:unstable) for libgdk-pixbuf2
Selected version 0.14-1 (Debian:unstable) for rep-gtk

22 packages upgraded, 100 newly installed, 1 to remove and 238 not upgraded.
Need to get 38.1MB/61.9MB of archives. After unpacking 123MB will be used.
By picking the Debian versions of the problem libraries..
