Package: gnustep-make
Version: 2.6.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

It is currently impossible to install a dev environment for GNUstep. This is 
because, on one side, gnustep-make depends on libgnustep-base-dev, which 
depends on libgnustep-base-XX which currently depends on gobjc-4.6, and, on the 
other side, gnustep-make depends on gobjc, which is a metapackage depending on 
gobjc-4.7.
This leaves a situation where both libobjc libs must be installed, while being 
binary-incompatible with each other (expectedly).

Since this will likely occur again at each update of gcc, gnustep-make should 
depend on a chosen version of gobjc-XX and stick to it until all packages are 
rebuilt.
In general, the default version of GCC does not change often during the 
development of a Debian release and it would provide a safe way to update 
packages without risking screwing up the GNUstep installation.
