Committed, thanks.

This dates from this upload:

openssh (1:3.5p1-5) unstable; urgency=low

  [...]
  * Build ssh-askpass-gnome with GNOME 2. The source package should still
    support building on stable with GNOME 1, using the alternate
    libgnome-dev build-dependency (thanks, Colin Walters; closes: #167582).

I've just now removed Debian 3.0 source-compatibility from the openssh
package, so this alternative build-dependency is now gone. Furthermore,
I happened to notice that while I'd taken the libgnomeui-dev
build-dependency on faith because it's what the GNOME folks told me to
use, in fact we just use the gtk+-2.0 pkg-config file and so there's no
reason to build-depend on more than libgtk2.0-dev. This should simplify
your bootstrapping chain quite a bit.

Cheers,
