Yes, I think so... since Wheezy and until Squeeze is supported.

GNOME2 has been (or will be soon) deprecated/dead end from upstream GNOME 
project (the same it was KDE3) so what can distributions do to handle 
this? GNOME2 (and most important, its related libraries) is not going to 
receive enhancements anymore so should distributions spend their scarce 
resources in packaging a DE (with OTOH, is a rather bigger and complex 
project) that is not being actively developed/evolved?
