Since it seems the message from the Debian Maintainer was ignored:
"Thank you for a suggestion. While using new libs might be an advantage,
libvte-2.91 uses GTK+ 3.0, while until now lxterminal package was using
GTK+ 2.0 (as well as rest of LXDE components). Switch to GTK+ 3.0 is not
much desirable since LXDE is positioned as a lightweight environment but
GTK+ 3.0 uses much more resources and has more bugs, some of which are
not easy to workaround. Overall, users are negative on switching over to
GTK+ 3.0 after some experience. And even if other applications aren't
taken into consideration (I mean mostly style difference), use just one
application with GTK+ 3.0 while other ones are GTK+ 2.0 may be a waste
(as both GTK+ 2.0 and GTK+ 3.0 will be loaded at the same time)."
Lubuntu intends to align with this until at minimum 18.04 is released to
reduce our maintenance load. Regardless, this should be done in Debian,
so please follow up there (because if there's a way to keep with GTK 2
and still switch to the new vte, I think they'd be inclined to do that
too).
