Hi

While finally trying to backport this change [1] into Ubuntu's
packaging, I noticed, at least since the upload of gtk+2.0 2.24.31-1,
that nvidia-settings now depends on libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.24.31) and the
regex in the override_dh_gencontrol target of debian/rules no longer
works.

Changing the regex in line 80 [2] of debian/rules to:

sed -ri -e 's/libgtk2.0-0 \(>= 2.*\)//' \

worked for me, but now I wonder whether we need to bump the dependency
in debian/control from libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0) to (>= 2.24.31), and
then whether the build-depends on libgtk2.0-dev would need to be
versioned as well.  Not very backport friendly :(

Regards
Graham
