Are the debian patches for the last of the GNOME 2 releases still
available? Can I build my own packages?

You can find packages here: http://snapshot.debian.org/ But if they are
not uninstallable already because of dependency problems, they soon will be.

The source code is available, for sure. But since it is not maintained
anymore, it will become harder and harder to compile, because libraries
change, stop being supported, etc.

That said, someone mentioned a fork of the old v2 code. I can't remember
the name, check the archives. It might get you some more time with the
old interface.
