Actually, for themes (and input methods, etc.), I recommend using a
hack to avoid the GTK2 dependency. It's safe because the only thing
that will use a GTK2 theme is GTK2 so it's unnecessary for the theme
itself to depend on GTK2. It's useful because we don't have a good way
to provide a user with the GTK2 version of an installed theme at the
time they install GTK2 unless we just install the GTK2 theme at the
same time as the GTK3 theme. Sort of a Just-In-Time apt dependency
resolution would be nice.
