As announced [1], we do not intend to release Debian 10 "Buster" with
the old libgnome (and related) libraries. These libraries have been
deprecated and unmaintained for several years.

Your package has apparently unnecessary Build-Depends on
libgnomecanvasmm-2.6-dev and libglademm-2.4-dev. Both of those
libraries will be removed from Debian soon.

I have uploaded a fix for this issue to the DELAYED/10 queue (plus a
few other packaging updates). Please let me know if I should delay (or
speed up) the upload. I will attach the debdiff in a follow-up email.
