I think this bug belongs to libgtk-java, which was NMUed to drop a circular
dependency between libgtk-java and libgtk-jni -- unfortunately I think it
dropped the wrong link of the circular dependency, since it's libgtk-java
that loads libgtk-jni rather than the other way around, and causing this
build failure in the process.
