gnome 1.4 rather than 2 w/ unstable?

["Karsten M. Self" <kmself@ix.netcom.com>]

Asked on behalf of a friend.

Is it possible to run GNOME 1.4 rather than 2 on unstable?

My understanding is that there are only 2.x debs in unstable, and that
they will replace the equivalent 1.4 debs.  Doesn't this somewhat
violate the principle of cleanly seperating out major versions of major
systems, a'la Perl, Python, glibc, etc.?

TIA.
