Maybe so,
I only wrote comments here because there is a clear difference between these two:
1) gnome desktop3_3.18.0-0ubuntu1~wily2 (Gnome3 Staging PPA)
2) gnome-desktop3_3.18.1-1ubuntu1 (xenial-proposed-new)

I cannot install nro 2 above, because that would force to remove libgnome-dektop-3-10.
But I have installed nro 1 above with no issues.

So, if nro 2 would be replaced with nro 1 in xenial proposed, it would be installable.
Then eog and mutter could be easily built against libgnome-desktop-3-12.
After this libgnome-desktop-3-10 could be removed.

To me, having nro 2 in xenial-proposed with no possibiliites to install it and eog + mutter with no possibiliites to build against libgnome-desktop-3-12 (because it is not installable) is a locked-in situation.
Nothing to fix? Really?
