ia32-libs-gtk is unusable -- that's an RC bug in ia32-libs-gtk.  It's
unusable because gtk+2.0 doesn't support it -- that's a wishlist bug in
gtk+2.0.

You don't get to add new packages to the archive that depend on
unimplemented functionality in other packages, and then automatically
declare this brokenness an RC bug in the underlying package.
