You need to build-depend on libvte-2.91-dev and libgtk-3-dev, check for their
new .pc file names (gtk+-3.0, vte-2.91) in GNUMakefile, and port your app as
necessary. I'm not sure how much Vte has changed. For GTK+, there are some 
guides:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html
https://developer.gnome.org/Gnome3PortingGuide/

See above. If you have trouble finding the replacement for a specific
method/class, I can look for it or ask upstream.
