The README file is shipped with the upstream sources. Should I remove
it from the debian package? How?

The code was never tested without Gtk2 but it includes no gtk
functions only gdk ones (on a C level). It does not depends on the
ruby binding of gtk. I suppose it could be used with an other
graphical toolkit (i.e. Qt) but tests (and debugging) are needed.
Should I upgrade to Depends for now?

This error is corrected (in a private git repository) but not yet
included on a upstream release.
Do you think I should shipped a new upstream release for a typo?
