Your package depends or build-depends on gconf, but gconf will be removed from Debian soon.

gconf's last release was about 5 years ago. It has been replaced by
gsettings (provided in Debian by source glib2.0 )

Please try to port your package away from gconf. Otherwise, please consider requesting that your package be removed from Debian to help us complete this goal.

Please note that jack-mixer has other important bugs for deprecated dependencies that we are trying to remove.
