Looks like the debian packages are called -2.2 but have version
2.4.x.

You may still have trouble building 1.3.0, it depends on gtk-2.4.
I'm not sure what it's packaging status is.  Additionally be warned,
1.3.0 is a _development_ release.  It is not expected to be fully
functional or stable.  The latest stable release is 1.2.11
