Argh, your package name doesn't match the policy at all:
bee% apt-cache rdepends libgtk1.2 | grep engine
gtk-engines-xenophilia
gtk-engines-thinice
gtk-engines-redmond95
gtk-engines-raleigh
gtk-engines-qtpixmap
gtk-engines-pixmap
gtk-engines-notif
gtk-engines-mist
gtk-engines-metal
gtk-engines-lighthouseblue
gtk-engines-industrial
gtk-engines-eazel
gtk-engines-begtk
bee% apt-cache rdepends libgtk2.0-0 | grep engine
gtk2-engines-xfce
gtk2-engines-wonderland
gtk2-engines-qtpixmap
gtk2-engines-pixbuf
gtk2-engines-magicchicken
gtk2-engines-gtk-qt
gtk2-engines-cleanice
gtk2-engines
gtk2-engines-pixbuf
gtk2-engines
Could you please rename to gtk2-engines-qt? It's really bad now that
it's in testing already, and so close to release.

The dependency is a "Conflicts", I need to keep it, especially for
compatibility with Ubuntu, but it is only in experimental, so I'm not
updating it right now (I will update it when the package moves to
unstable). gtk2-engines-gtk-qt from the archive completely, and I'll
remove the Conflicts; this will be presumably etch+1.

Please file another bug when you *remove* gtk2-engines-gtk-qt from the
archive completely, and I'll remove the Conflicts. Yes, this needs to
be etch+1.
