Debian page mentions it still needs gtkglarea-1 which needs the gtk-1 stuff. Anyway, lightspeed-1.2a-r1, with the debian patch and gtkglarea* is in the tree but masked. It crashes on me once fired-up. If no-one is willing to take care of it, either we keep the gtk-1 version, or we punt the package. It is at the bottom of my priorities to further debug or maintain it.
Shame. I don't really care about lightspeed, only about getting rid of gtk+-1.x and glib-1.x But if there is no alternative, dunno..
Just tested it again, and tried every possible option.. Seems to work fine here.
