To be clear, we aren't dropping gtk2 from Buster. However, I think
there's a reasonable chance that gtk2 won't be installed *by default*
in Debian GNOME. These removals are move about old GNOME2 libraries
but I believe moving to gtk3 will help there still.

Sure, try this:
https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/ch34.html

for gtk2 → gtk3, see
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/migrating.html

and can I assume you saw this notice?
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/10/msg00299.html

Thanks,
Jeremy
