Since then, a GObject-Introspection based v1.110 release is out,
and the upstream Git repository has seen changes recently.

The old FTBFS is gone, with the move away from XS to introspection.

Hence, I plan to upload 1.110-1 to unstable soon. Does anyone mind?

I've resurrected the Git packaging repository from attic, fixing a few
bugs in "remove-repository -r" along the way, and I've pushed the
updated packaging to pkg-perl/libclutter-perl.git, so that anyone
interested can have a look.

Remaining (non-blocking) issues:

  * Lintian warning (empty changelog.gz) --> was fixed in Git upstream
    since then.
  * The only test case segfaults in a pbuilder + xvfb-run environment,
    but passes flawlessly in a regular X session. So, I (sadly)
    disabled it. Any idea what could help making it work in pbuilder?
