[added maintainer of gscan2pdf to CC. gscan2pdf is the only reverse
dependency of libgoo-canvas-perl]
goocanvas is deprecated & replaced by goocanvas-2.0. gscan2pdf depends
on libgoo-canvas-perl, which uses goocanvas.
Are there any plans to migrate gscanpdf away from
libgoocanvas-perl/goocanvas to goocanvas-2.0?

I tried to convince Goo::Canvas to build with libgoocanvas-2.0-dev by
patching the search for 'goocanvas' in pkg_config to 'goocanvas-2.0'
and adjusting the build dependency of 'libgoocanvas-dev' to
'libgoocanvas-2.0-dev', but this fails with:

... and many more.
So to me trying to convert Goo::Canvas to work with goocanvas-2.0 is a dead-end.
Looking at CPAN, there is GooCanvas2, which is supposed to work with
Gtk3 and goocanvas-2.0.
