I have similar situation at home, and my partner uses Gnome Classic on
Wheezy here. It is very much like Gnome 2 (without all the
customisation options). You just need to select 'Gnome Classic' from
the GDM menu the first time she logs in.

Yes, the 'Gnome Classic' option has been removed from 3.8 onwards, but
3.4 is going to be in Debian for a very long time!
