Since libgtk-3-0 doesn't depend on libvte in any form, we will add a
Breaks. Joss already added one for libvte in current svn.
We should probably also add one against libwebkitgtk-3.0-0.

Maybe you downgraded libgtk-3-0 again? I would be pretty surprised if
the combination gtk 3.4 and vte 0.30 works wrt. scrolling in
gnome-terminal.
Would be cool if you could re-test that again.
I tested gtk 3.4 + vte 0.30 and scrolling in gnome-terminal is
definitely broken.
gtk 3.2 + vte 0.30 obviously is *not* broken, since the scrolling
related changes were introduced in gtk 3.3.18
