Since at least Trusty, lxpanel- indicator- applet- plugin (which does not appear to be provided upstream), suggests indicator- messages- gtk2, which is not available. It also suggests indicator- application- gtk2 which has a hard requirement for gtk2 while indicator- application is gtk3. It seems that the goal was to split out the gtk2/3 versions. However, it doesn't seem that indicator-messages (a package which is available) has a hard requirement for gtk at all, so they may have just dropped indicator- messages- gtk2.
That said, I think the solution here is to replace indicator- messages- gtk2 with indicator-messages but it will need some testing.
