Nothing odd there.

libgtk1.1-dev conflicts with libgtk-dev so that it won't be installed at
the same time as any other package which provides: libgtk-dev.

In fact, all the libgtk*-dev packages should provide: libgtk-dev and
conflict:libgtk-dev - so only one can be installed at any time.

For example:

pear# apt-get install libgtk1.1.13-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libglib1.1.13-dev 
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libgtk-dev 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libglib1.1.13-dev libgtk1.1.13-dev 
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 893k of archives. After unpacking 1186k will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

Looks fine to me..
