Bug#721509: nmu: binNMU for libgtkdatabox rdepends

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I admit this does not clarify the situation for me.  Even if the problem
is at upstream side - if upstream does not care for the problem the
maintainer is in charge to invent a patch.  I was just wondering if a
binNMU would do the trick or not.  If not I have no idea what to do
because I do not really understand the problem.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
