Bug#885778: swami: Depends on libgnomecanvas

[Element Green]

Hello Mira,

While I do plan on porting Swami to GTK3 at some point, it is not a trivial
task and I haven't had much time for it.  I'll definitely keep this in mind
in regards to Debian removing it if it isn't ported and prioritize this
accordingly.  When would a port need to be completed in order to continue
to be a part of Debian?

Best regards,

Element
