OK I've just implemented this and uploaded the packages. It'll take a few days (or weeks) before it's in the archive due to the new package structure. There's now four packages; pcb: just an empty package which depends on the GTK or LessTif HIDs, with the GTK one being the default. pcb-gtk, pcb-lesstif: contains the relevant HID. pcb-common: contains the shared files. /usr/bin/pcb is managed through the Debian alternatives system. If the lesstif package is installed, it will be /usr/bin/pcb because it's assumed you specifically wanted that version.
