Good point, from configure.ac[1] it looks like it's dependencies are
keeping their current release series, along with a new one,
gobject-introspection[2].

The packages that will need to be changed are (grep -l "DEPS .* gtk" src/*.mk) :

gst-plugins-good.mk
gtkglext.mk
gtkglextmm.mk
gtkmm.mk
gtksourceview.mk
gtksourceviewmm.mk
librsvg.mk
plotmm.mk

Is anyone volunteering to work on this? It may be a good chance to
explore the static linking issues.

Cheers,

Tony
