Thanks for checking this.
Newly updated package available at
deb http://samth.dyndns.org/debian ./

Fixed, I think. I removed every possibly related package I could find
from my chroot, and then tried to build uf-view. I had to ask apt-get
to install only: libgnome-dev, libghttp-dev and debhelper, but those
brought in close to 50 other packages (all of X and GNOME, for
example). Are those three all that is needed for Build-Depends?

You're welcome. But you can't check it against my package anymore,
since the INSTALL file is now gone.

Fixed.
Now I get the following lintian output:
samth# lintian --version
Lintian v1.20.6
samth# lintian -i uf-view_1.2-2_i386.changes
W: uf-view source: newer-standards-version 3.5.2.0
I presume this is a lintian bug. Right?
On a somewhat related note, what would cause the following apt errors?
Dpkg installs the package without complaint, and apt's math seems to
be a little off.

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
uf-view: Depends: libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.8-3) but 1.2.9.cvs20010223-1 is
to be installed
Depends: xlibs (>= 4.0.1-11) but 4.0.2-7 is to be installed
