I don't think you need to worry about this, GTK+ 2.6 entered testing
in January this year and I've built the installation CD on my testing
machine after that. In addition, gschem is part of the debian package
geda-gschem so if upgrading GTK+ to 2.6 would break gschem then this
would be reflected in the buildd logs of the debian package
geda-gschem which I can't see that it is.

The only problem I see with gEDA on debian right now is some strange
circular dependency:

http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=libgeda20

which is preventing the updated geda packages from entering
testing. Is Hamish Moffatt on this list ? Looks like something needs
to be done to get the updated packages built so they can enter testing
(which will hopefully soon to released). It would be nice to resolve
this now so that the latest gEDA will be part of the upcoming Debian
stable release.
