That won't help, because other packages potentially to be submitted could
require the official gtk+extra-1.x.

So you are facing several problems at once:
1. You must replace the current gtk+extra with an official package, either 2.0
or 1.0.
2. The unofficial version must not conflict with any official package.

I.e. you have to provide a solution that allows a clean, parallel installation
of all 3 packages, 'official old', 'official new' and 'inofficial', both devel
and run-time variant packages.

If following the gtk+/gtk2 naming conventions, you could to
1) Put the latest official gtk+extra-1 sources into "gtk+extra" packages and
increment the epoch. 
2) Ship gtk+extra >2.0 as "gtk2+extra" or "gtk+extra2"
3) Put the unofficial stuff into an arbitarily named package (say gpsim-libs)
and hack the package in such a way that this version doesn't conflict with any
of the official versions (Neither includes nor SONAMEs).

Instead of 3) you could merge the "unofficial gtk+extras" with the gpsim package
and link statically against it.

Many other possibilities are possible. As usual things depend on details.

The cleanest solution would be to push upstream gpsim to using the current
gtk+extra2. If they can provide such a solution in not too distant future,
upgrading gtk+extra to 2 and waiting with gpsim probably would be best.
