Hi. Debian Testing is currently in freeze stage and the release of Debian 7 is planned for early 2013. Ubuntu Lucid hits end of life for final users in 2013 too. I doubt that a Debian stable user that would keep Debian 6 after version 7 is released is somebody who would need the latest version of inkscape, and Ubuntu Lucid users will have to upgrade anyway because they'll go unsupported for everything (not just inkscape) so your proposal doesn't sound like a big compromise. I'd say +1 :-)
+1 for me as well.
I was always of the opinion that stable releases have their own, stable versions of Inkscape. The benefits of providing a new program that can run with very old libraries far outweigh the burden of dealing with these old libraries.
