 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.
