For the people that want gtk1.2, your best bet is to work together to maintain it in a PPA. It was quite deliberately removed from Debian and Ubuntu because it's no longer supportable. The last gtk1.2 was a very long time ago. Certainly no more recently than 2002: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/1.2/ See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520441 for additional details.

A number of people are also unhappy about the libstdc++5 removal. That's not coming back either.
