I'm not sure about the timeline for the gconf removal (cc'ing jbicha) but I guess it can wait a bit, and would save some work. In case Jeremy indicates a high urgency I'm happy to to this minimal NMU in between.

I was planning to do a new release (I'm also the upstream, and I have a couple of pending fixes) and the do the upload fixing the gconf issue. I'm very busy so can't guarantee I'll manage to do it promptly, so if it helps please do an NMU (and I'll wait the migration to testing before doing my upload, in case I manage to release quickly).

Looking at the ChangeLog and the git history, it seems that gconf has been replaced by gsettings already in 1.2.6. Grepping through the code shows two leftovers, the build dependency in debian/control, and a mentioning in PKGS_VALA in Makefile. If I remove those two pieces, the package builds and the Depends line of the syncmaildir-applet binary package loses gconf-service and libgconf-2-4. Patch (git diff against master) attached. Enrico, do you have time to work on this? Otherwise I'm happy to make an upload based on this diff.

Bug#886044: syncmaildir: raising severity of gconf dependency bug
Control: severity -1 serious As announced [1], we are working to remove gconf from Debian. As part of this process, I am now raising the severity of this bug. Please try to port your package away from gconf. Otherwise, please consider requesting that your package be removed from Debian to help us complete this goal.
