Hi Kees, yes, there are plans and actually they are pretty much near
to completion :) Thanks to the GNOME team, 2.26 is now (almost)
entirely packaged in Debian [1] and on my unstable machine I'm running
it together with a 2.6.30 kernel.
The "problem" from your point of view can be that all such development
is happening in unstable and will take a while before it gets into a
stable release. It is even possible that by then a different, newer,
GNOME version will be delivered.
I suggest you to wait for the full packaging of GNOME 2.26; at that
point, you can get it from some other suite such as the testing
Squeeze (which do not contain it yet) or www.backports.org.
Cheers.
