I see.  It is not required to upload the latest to unstable.
I sometimes wait them stable enough before uploading.  It is your call.

Are you using sid version like what I do via pbuilder.
See http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html#pbuilder

If you use debhelper build default, these are OK.  Since
dh_auto_configure passes dpkg-buildflags CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS
to perl Makefile.PL and Build.PL

I am not sure but 
GTK2VER = $(shell pkg-config --variable=gtk_binary_version gtk+-2.0)
GTK3VER = $(shell pkg-config --variable=gtk_binary_version gtk+-3.0)
These may be the cause of this problem.  I am learning this thing now.

Adding dpkg-buildflags to these may be the solution.

Anyway, this can wait a bit.  Not so critical.

What ever you decide after my comments, please give me pointer to the
package which needs sponsor.
