I don't think that debian can/should package libgda 1.1, which libgdamm
needs, because libgda 1.1 is an unstable set of release that is not
parallel-installable with the stable libgda 1.0 series. Therefore,
packaging it would risk breaking applications.
So, at the moment, it doesn't look like glom can be packaged until GNOME
2.8.0 comes out in approx 4 months, when I hope libgda 1.1/2.0 will
become stable.

I requested it, and I think that the bakery debian maintainer plans to
do it soon.

I think that's an old bug that was fixed in a later (obviously not
packaged in debian) libgdamm tarball release. There is no
"libgda-2.0.pc" anywhere.
