Indeed, in the GTK3 patch I did not update the Debian/Ubuntu source
dependencies yet.

That's an intended feature...
When I run 'autogen.sh', I'm enabling the maintainer mode, which
contains many more checks than a regular build.
You could run './autogen.sh --disable-deprecation-checks' or run the
'./configure' without arguments (after it has been created by
autogen.sh).

Great, I'll try it soon too. I'm running Debian, so I have not tried the
broadway backend yet.
