drgeo is not in jessie and won't be in stretch, so there is no need to
hurry with patching this upstream version from 2005.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/drgeo/log/
This looks very dead.
#736535 mentions an active fork (that seems to be quite different).
What drgeo needs is an active maintainer who packages code that is
also maintained upstream.
Trying to revive 2005 code after it has already missed two Debian
releases doesn't make much sense.
