It turned out to be a Debian bug. libpango1.0-dev is uninstallable
in testing/unstable at the moment. This in turn stops libgtk2.0-dev
from installing as it depends on it.
I got a working installation of Jamin by using
dpkg --unpack jamin
which installs all the files in the Debian package without checking
dependencies.
