Severity: normal

Usertags: hardening-format-security hardening

the package gtkboard fails to compile with the new hardened compiler
flags dpkg-buildflag outputs [0].
The problematic flag is: -Werror=format-security
See the ubuntu buildlog:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/83140252/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-i386.gtkboard_0.11pre0%2Bcvs.2003.11.02-4_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

The buildflags are not exported in debian, but can be enabled e.g. by
adding this to debian/rules:

 DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1
 include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk

Please fix the issues and maybe also enable the hardened build in debian.
