I did a search of oldstable on packages.debian.org and it's not there
either. I'm guessing it's something that existed in an older version
of this development package, and has been deprecated.
You would need at least a decent understanding of this libsigc++ package
to know for sure.
Just for grins, what happens if you comment out that #include? Maybe
the functions/whatever which used to be defined in this header file
are already being defined somewhere else.
Hey, you might get lucky.

If you *don't* get lucky, then it's this.
