Well, it is, up to a point.

This is reasonable...

...and works best when packages and repositories are build to fit this
purpose. That's one of the benefits of Debian's rather strict policy and
its very large repository. But you don't intend to switch, so that's of
no particular use to you. In your particular case, I think it is
indeed better to resolve dependencies manually or at least upgrade to one
gnome install, depending on your needs. You should look into pinning
certain packages as well.

I would paste mine, but my SuSE system's CPU fan just went south. Do you
have resources for ancient hardware? :-) I am looking for a fan to fit an
AMD Athlon 700 (Slot A) and I am in Europe.
I think my sources.list looks something like this:
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.1-i386 base update kde
mozilla packman packman-i686 funktronics suser-rbos
If I need just one or two packages from another repository, I remove it
after I got what I needed. The drawback of course is, that it is not
upgraded automatically. This can be remedied with your own
repository/mirror which I did for some time.
Sorry I can't do more for you
