If you're not a Debian developer, or someone very interested in helping
out with Debian development and willing to track what's going on in
unstable, please don't run unstable. Just install Debian woody, and use
the GNOME 2 backport for woody:

Also, if you want, you can selectively grab packages from unstable, by
putting this into /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 50
And then add unstable to your sources.list. Now you can install (say)
gramps by doing: apt-get install gramps/unstable

Yes, it looks like things will be broken for some time in unstable. Oh,
well.
