gtk+extra2 was removed from Debian unstable and testing in 2009 and was
never in squeeze. Lenny has 2.1.1-5 but that will be archived once we
start the Wheezy release preparations. A backport is not possible as
the package is not available in (and cannot now be introduced into)
Debian testing.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=563069

There is no place for gtk+extra2 in Debian, especially in backports. By
definition, nothing in Debian uses gtk+extra2 and anything which wants
to start using it needs to look instead at GTK3 support. No new code
should be introduced into Debian expecting to use gtk+extra2.
