You know upstream maintainer of libgtop2 has to be kidding about not being possible to not break the API. I disagree with you, Debian should enforce API compatibility even if upstream is so evil to not do so. Anyway I know that the Debian maintainer can't undo all the breakage done to the API by upstream but at least upstream should know to be more careful about these issues.
