python-gtk doesn't exist anymore (since debian slink it seems),
so do you mean python-gtk2 ?
Either way, both doesn't seem to be connected to python-apt.

Anyway: No, the Conflicts is correct. We are conflicting against this and
older versions, that this is some really old version now is not a problem,
not applying Conflicts will just be ignored (we keep them around e.g. for
 derivatives with different release cycles which might have still the
 affected version in use).

If you still have this issue, please open a new bugreport against aptitude.
