Given

and

it looks like this might be old baggage that we should simply drop?

Also, I don't see libgtop2 in the dependencies. Is it linked in statically,
or is debian/patches/001-gtop2.patch really unused?

-    return " -lgtop -lgtop_sysdeps -lgtop_common $xlibs";
+    return " -lgtop-2.0 -lgtop_sysdeps-2.0 -lgtop_common-2.0 $xlibs";
