On second thoughts, I think fixing this in fpc (your original suggestion!)
is best.

fp-units-gtk2 binary package used to depend on libgtk2.0-dev.
As it no longer does that, it should instead, depend on the above
packages directly.

(The fp-units-gtk2 package contains various stuff apary from gtk2)

I'll do another upload of fpc.
