Ok, I think I see what you're doing. I'm not sure I really understand
the value of it, but it can't hurt.
After we've fixed GTK+ 2, this appears it will only be useful in the
small case of when you want to build the Debian packages of e.g.
gnome-core (version 1) and e.g. celestia on the same machine. You still
can't build upstream GNOME 1 packages though, because you'll have
libpng3-dev installed. Not that there's any way we can fix that.
