What you say above is multiple troublesome:
1. The gtk+extra 1.1.0 gpsim requires, is not an official version of gtk+extras.
=> We should _not_ ship gtk+extra-1.1.0 under the name "gtk+extra", as shipping
something unofficial/derived under the original name, IMO is truely bad idea.
I think we should consider to withdraw the current gtk+extra-1.1.0.

2. gtk+extra > 2.x is incompatible to gtk+extra < 1.0
=> All 3 versions must be installable in parallel, should there be a
corresponding demand for all 3 versions.

What to do in detail, depends on packaging details of all 3 versions.

3. Requires: gtk+extra = 1.1.0
doesn't make any sense, because, to be able to ship all 3 versions, the package
names must be chosen in such a way they do not conflict, e.g.
gtk+extra (1.0.x)
gtk+extra11 (1.1.x)
gtk+extra2 (>= 2.0)
