I hadn't realised that there was an urgent need to remove goocanvas, and I don't understand the severity of the bug, and therefore why gscan2pdf has to be removed from testing in December.

I just quickly tested GooCanvas2, and I can't make it work with Gtk2.

This implies to me that I would have to migrate all of gscan2pdf to Gtk3. This is certainly a medium-term goal, but is non-trivial.

In particular, I do not know of a Gtk3 equivalent of Gtk2-ImageView.

I'd be grateful if the removal date could be delayed to give me a chance to port the Gtk2 stuff to Gtk3. I'd be willing to commit to doing it for Buster.
