libchamplain depends on clutter-1.0, which is no longer maintained
upstream. libchamplain probably doesn't have a whole lot of future
either.

The recommended replacement for libchamplain is libshumate, a "friendly
fork" of libchamplain that uses GTK 4 instead of GTK 3 and Clutter. Apps
need to be ported from GTK 3 to GTK 4 and from libchamplain to libshumate
at the same time.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/issues/353 is an example of
this process.
