The 2.6.4-3.1 does not include these dependencies but the 2.8.20-3 does. I didn't look for 2.10. It's the same maintainer who did both packages. I don't know the reason why it lacks these dependencies in the 2.6.4 as I did not ask to the maintainers. I will try to get information from the gtk2 maintainers ... maybe there is a good reason behind this :-/ If there is no chance of correction, I'll write a little section to explain what to do in this case.
