Severity: important

not sure if it's a good idea to build without the deprecated functions.

Function `gdk_gc_get_colormap' implicitly converted to pointer at 
gtkdatabox_graph.c:123
Function `gdk_gc_new' implicitly converted to pointer at gtkdatabox_markers.c:164

Our automated build log filter detected the problem(s) above that will
likely cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of
a pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64.

This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.

Since use of implicitly converted pointers is always fatal to the application
on ia64, they are errors.  Please correct them for your next upload.
