Already done, although I'm not so familiar with dpkg, thus your proposal
could work better.

See: http://helix.alioth.debian.org/deb/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/

The diff between sarge and sid is AFAIK the gtk version (2.4.3 instead
of 2.4.4). libpango has a diff, too. That's all.

Compare yourself:
