 Ok, now I understand what happened.

 The plan with the new Gtk was to avoid using
 /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders at all, so I simply stopped updating it
 and planned removing it when all modules would have been converted to
 the new dh_gtkmodules usage.  However, I did not remove that file on
 upgrades, and continued supporting the update-* commands.  Hence, you
 and others kepts an old file in /etc which still references the 2.4.0
 modules...

 I will probably change Gtk to remove the file, and the update-* script
 to do ... nothing.

 For now, you may either run the update-* commands on your system as you
 did, or remove the /etc/ files altogether.

   Bye,
