If you really need libooobs-1-3 then you can add a Lenny/testing line to
your /etc/apt/sources.list. Lenny still has version 2.20.0-1 of
liboobs-1-3.
However, it seems to me that Gnome on Sid does not require libooobs-1-3
anymore:
$ aptitude why gnome liboobs-1-3
p gnome Suggests gnome-dbg
p gnome-dbg Recommends liboobs-1-3-dbg
p liboobs-1-3-dbg Depends liboobs-1-3 (= 2.20.0-1)
The "suggests" of gnome-dbg can safely be ignored, unless you really
need to do some debugging of gnome system components or applications.
(In that case you probably have to wait until gnome-dbg is updated for
liboobs-1-4.)
Gnome itself has switched to liboobs-1-4 (which is available in Sid):
$ aptitude why gnome liboobs-1-4
p gnome Depends gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.20.2.4)
p gnome-desktop-environment Depends gnome-system-tools (>= 2.20.0)
p gnome-system-tools Depends liboobs-1-4
Maybe your mirror is in an inconsistent state or you did not run
"apt-get update" recently enough. It could also be that the liboobs-1-3
to liboobs-1-4 transition of Gnome is not complete yet, so maybe you
just have to wait for a few more days.

If you have all the components of Gnome installed then it will work fine
without the "gnome" and the "gnome-desktop-environment" metapackage.
Just don't run any autoremoval commands.
