  Well, the other NMU that is in git has some fixes, it seems to be 
  building on all archs that Ubuntu support: ppc64el, powerpc, amd64, 
  i386, arm64, & armhf

  guile-cairo has been migrated to guile-2.0, but I don't see any g-wrap 
  package in its deps nor build-deps.

  As for guile-gnome-platform, I have sync'ed it from Ubuntu (they had 
  it migrated to Guile 2.0), and built it on an amd64 (against g-wrap 
  revision that hasn't been uploaded yet).

  Well, I am trying to help. I was hoping someone would help me with the 
  gwave build problem that I've got.
