Your package depends or build-depends on gconf, but gconf will be removed from Debian soon. gconf's last release was about 5 years ago. It has been replaced by gsettings (provided in Debian by source glib2.0 ) Please try to port your package away from gconf.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. In a test build, I tried dropping the gconf build-dependency and set --disable-gconf but the build wouldn't work. It's interesting because the current build doesn't even use gconf so it looks like this is just a bug in matchbox's build system.
