I'm not sure what you're proposing here. I'm pretty sure that most
everybody hates the idea of *2 packages as a permanent solution, but
orphaning the normal packages implies that it will be. The *2 packages
were originally meant to be a step in the transition - they would be
removed and the new versions of the GNOME 2 packages rolled into the
non-*2 packages once they were ready.
