As written previously upstream changed the ABI number so updating to GTK
2.9 would require updating libgnomeui (and probably some other parts of
GNOME with it) to 2.15, I don't think that's something we want to do for
now no
I don't know how the d-i uses GTK, but does the ABI number change has an
impact on it too?

Take the GTK source package, rename it, drop the binary packages you are
not interested too, renamed the other ones to no conflict? Then you
probably need to make them conflict with the unstable packages or change
the location of the files and the .pc, etc according to that. Note that
update to GTK 2.9 requires to package pango 1.13 too and a libcairo 1.1
and might have to do similar changes for them too. That's really a non
trivial way, do you really need the new version for etch?
