fixed, thanks!

Sarah,

-Conflicts: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.9)
+Conflicts: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.11)

this fix isn't correct. It should be
Conflicts: libgtk2.0-0 (< 2.10)

The thing is, Claws needs a recompile when gtk changes from 2.9 to 2.10 or vice-versa; the rest is ok. See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391897

thanks
