The 1: is called an epoch and it is used when the packager needs to make
a lower version actually higher. This can happen by accident or if
upstream changes versioning schemes. In this case Debian at one time
used the 2.6 branch when it wasn't stable and wanted to go back to 2.4.

With respect to gtkmm2.4, the source tree of version 2.12.1 is 5MB
bigger than 2.12.0 and diffstat shows:

 1479 files changed, 36064 insertions(+), 9598 deletions(-)

Which is quite a lot for a SRU. On the other hand, the vast majority of
the changes seem to be in the reference documentation. Looks like ~76
non-doc files changed with mostly just a couple lines changed in most.
So, I would like to hear what other MOTU SRUers think and I'd also like
to see some idea of the impact of this bug. I realize that not having
the printing classes is not good, but is it breaking other packages in
Gutsy? If so, which ones and would they need a rebuild to be fixed?

Thanks Murray for reporting the bug and fixing this upstream.
