This package has Build-Depends on GTK 2 (libgtk2.0-dev), or produces binary packages with a Depends on GTK 2. Honestly, this package should not have entered Debian with gtk2 in 2023. GTK 2 was superseded by GTK 3 in 2011 (see <https://bugs.debian.org/947713>). It no longer receives any significant upstream maintenance, and in particular does not get feature development for new features like UI scaling on high-pixel-density displays (HiDPI) and native Wayland support. GTK 3 is in maintenance mode and GTK 4 is approaching release, so it seems like a good time to be thinking about minimizing the amount of GTK 2 in the archive. Please consider switching to lcl=qt5 to build with qt5 interface. Please rename c-evo-dh-gtk2 to c-evo-dh when implementing this. We really do not need to know the toolkit that it uses by looking at the pkg name. I would gladly sponsor this.
