The "fix" in libsigc++2.0 is more a hack then a real fix. It was added
since the change in libsigc++2.0/glibmm2.4/gtkmm3.0 would have made ~90
packages RC buggy. It's not a proper fix and not one I want to keep in
stretch.

So, if you've already fixed your package to build with the newer
libsigc++2.0 by switching to -std=c++11, please keep that change.

In most of the cases it should be as simply as passing that via CFLAGS
in debian/rules.
