"I seem to remember" is not good enough. I wouldn't worry about it since
the -2 and -3 are just the Debian version numbers, that is you still
have gcc 4.3.3 installed.

There is no way that 4.3.3-3 would be installed before 4.3.3-2,
discounting any dpkg forcing options.

In fact lenny has 

gcc-4.3:
  Installed: 4.3.2-1.1
  Candidate: 4.3.2-1.1

Are you running sid?
