Fixed in upstream is better than in debian/rules .... of course!
Actually, about dependecies...

Compilig peless I noted that libgtkmm needs libcairomm internally but
this dep. is not resolved in debian libgtkmm-dev (mentioning
libgtkmm-dev doesn't automatically resolve for libcairomm-dev)
package.... Should I make a bug report about this ?
