I tried updating again, and I'm using http.us.debian.org.  Here is the
output of the command:

landofratop:~/debian-devel/libgnome_2.6.1/libgnome-2.6.1/debian# apt-cache policy libgnome2-0
libgnome2-0:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.4.0-11
  Version Table:
     2.6.1-2 0
        200 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
     2.4.0-11 0
        800 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I also checked out the libgnome2-common source package and noticed you're setting the
dependancies for libgnome2-0 in the control file to be the following:

Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libgnome2-common (= ${Source-Version})

Why not set libgnome2-common (=> ${Source-Version}) instead?  I'm
fairly new to this packaging stuff, but it seems to be if it were
greater than or equal to the package would have been installable in my
case.  

Additionally, it seems odd to me that 2 binary packages built from the
same source package would yield 2 different versions, 2.6.1-2 for
libgnome2-0, and 2.6.1-3 for libgnome2-common.  What is going on
there?
