I would really recomment against doing that. Either be patient and wait until
G2.12 enters testing or upgrade to unstable with experimental gnome packages..
Another option would be to pin apt on testing and get the needed packages from
unstable and experimental, but that's probably more trouble then it's worth.

Powerpc should be quite well up-to-date, but there can sometimes be a delay of
some days as the packages need to be built manually.
