I take this to mean that it can be used to build with either gtk2 or
gtk3, but that in either case it requires the version >=2.24?

How many constructs are involved here? If it is less than half-a-dozen
we could write functions/macros to switch between syntaxes at compile
time (ie testing GTK_MINOR_VERSION or micro version or whatever it is).

I think so, mine is and I don't think there is a newer version, but
looking at the Debian website it is not clear to me.

again, looking at the Debian website I didn't see a link to any
timetable.

yes, e.g. where the #if (GTK_VERSION_XXX<XXX) is restricted to denemo.h
(or similar) defining versions of gtk functions not available in 2.20

no.

If an experienced packager could comment (what would you like to make
your life easy?) it will be very helpful
