Debian packages are built from source, this means the Vala files in this
case.  Your configure script asks for valac (>= 0.3.6), but Debian
only has 0.3.4 (unstable) and 0.3.5 (experimental).  So the new gmult
release will have to wait until this changes.

I noticed that the configure script will return with no error if it does
not find GTK or GIO.  This delays the fatal error when building
automatically, so please return with an error there (see patch below).

Regards,
Ansgar
