>A debdiff fixing this bug is attached.
Sebastian's patch seems sane to me, the resulting package seems to work
and there has been no maintainer response to this bug report. So I have
uploaded as a NMU (haven't got the "accepted" mail yet though), NMU
debdiff attatched.

+Description: Change how GDK image resources are compiled in
+ The compiled in image resources were being created as a structure in a
+ generated c source file. The generation of this file caused constness
+ warning as a guint8 * was initialised from a const char array.
+ .
+ This changes the generation and use of these compiled in resources to
+ use the raw inline form as suggested by the documentation removing the
+ const warning.
+ .
+ In addition to the changes from a29e9589f6bd54e258805bef367528a18d7b0c2b, the
+ include in the generated file is changed to glib.h.
