Easyeffects used to depend on gtkmm4.0 but not anymore. I think there's no
other extra package work needed for now.

I noticed that libsigc++-3.0/3.2.0-4 did not properly handle symbol files,
such as using 2.x version strings, debian revision in versions (lintian
error) and unmatched symbols for different archs. Since you added this
symbol file, it would be great if you can fix it and have libsigc++-3.0
migrated to Testing at least once.
