Please accept my apologies for being MIA for so long.

I have the new GNUstep core packages ready at mentors.d.n (targeted
for experimental, of course).  There were new upstream releases in the
meantime, so we'll omit -gui0.22 entirely.  IOW:

libgnustep-base1.22 -> 1.24
libgnustep-gui0.20  -> 0.24

I rebuilt all GNUstep packages in the archive and fortunately there
are only two FTBFS bugs -- #749553 (cenon.app) and #749554 (sogo).
gnustep-dl2 also fails to build, but that's due to the
texi2html->makeinfo switch in gnustep-make and is trivial to fix (I'll
report the bug tomorrow).  In the next few days I'll examine the build
logs for compiler warnings and will report those issues that may lead
to problems at runtime.

I'll ping you when the new core packages pass through NEW, OK?
