That would be a binNMU,[0] but: I've uploaded 0.18-4 (with a versioned build dependency on libgumbo-dev) with some packaging updates to unstable which should fix the current issue. What is not beautiful is that the generated runtime dependency is still "libgumbo2 (>= 0.12.3)". There seems to be some undocumented API/ABI compatibility problem. For the future: When a prepare a new release of gumbo-parser you could test reverse dependencies and/or upload to experimental as a first step.
