Ouch. You misunderstood me. I asked you to put libgtk2.0-dev,
autotools-dev and probably libtool as well to the _'Build-Depends'_ field
of the source package. Please read Debian Policy part 4.2 and 7.6:
"
7.6. Relationships between source and binary packages - `Build-Depends',
`Build-Depends-Indep', `Build-Conflicts', `Build-Conflicts-Indep'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Source packages that require certain binary packages to be installed
or absent at the time of building the package can declare
relationships to those binary packages.
This is done using the `Build-Depends', `Build-Depends-Indep',
`Build-Conflicts' and `Build-Conflicts-Indep' control file fields.
Build-dependencies on "build-essential" binary packages can be
omitted. Please see Section 4.2, `Package relationships' for more
information.

I think you shouldn't change upstream version. When I was a beginner in
Debian package making, I used only upstream_version-1, and added my
changes there. But there's a better approach, I learnt from someone here
on this list: for the initial release use upstream_version-0.1 (-0.2, -0.3
and so on -- it's for NMU-ing a package, but as you should reset the
debian/changelog before the real upload, this does not hurt.

Sounds very good.
