Bug#717389: libgtk-3-0: sysmalloc assertion when libxi6 2:1.4.2-1 rather than 2:1.7.1.901-1 (using gnome-terminal)

Package: libgtk-3-0
Version: 3.8.2-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Tried to launch gnome-terminal
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Upgraded libxi6 (and/or related dependencies)
* What was the outcome of this action?
gnome-terminal went from assert-failing to working(?).
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Debug session (with some dbg symbols installed):

Quit anyway? (y or n) y
I then upgraded libxi6 since backtrace strongly suggested an issue there.

And, well, running gnome-terminal finally started happening to work...
So, perhaps we're missing a proper version Depends in libgtk-3-0,
since it currently has:
Depends: ... libxi6 (>= 2:1.2.99.4) ...
[current setting obviously not sufficient...]
(and the problem quite likely *is* about libxi6 since XIQueryDevice()
was the last backtrace frame to seemingly have caused the issue)
#699531 might be related, since that one is complaining about
_gdk_device_xi2_reset_scroll_valuators segfault,
with merely a libxi6 2:1.6.1-1 installed there
(this additional bug might nail it down to requiring a Depends: indicating
something *newer than* 2:1.6.1-1
and *less-equal* 2:1.7.1.901-1 as installed and working on my machine)
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
