Bug#885677: is rebuilding lablgtk2 without gnomecanvas an option?

[Enrico Tassi <gareuselesinge@debian.org>]

Dear Jeremy, I'm an upstream of some of the software that depends on
lablgtk2. Porting to GTK+3 is not an easy option, since lablgtk3 does
not exist (and will not exist as far as I know).

As far as I understand, the main offender here is libgnomecanvas2-0.

I was wandering if we could rebuild lablgtk2 switching off support for
some gnome technology: that is get rid of the binary package
liblablgtk2-gnome-ocaml but keep the others)

Lablgtk2 is made of optional components that can be switched off at
configure time. Eg on my system I currently get:

LablGTK configuration:
	GtkGLArea 	yes
	libglade 	yes
	librsvg  	yes
	libgnomecanvas 	yes
	libgnomeui 	yes
	libpanelapplet 	not found
	gtkspell 	yes
	gtksourceview 1 	not found
	gtksourceview 2 	yes
	quartz    	not found

If it is a viable option for you, can you tell me which of the above
are going to be a problem for Buster (in addition to libgnomecanvas)?

Best
