Package FTBFS

There are two issues that cause the package to FTBFS during rebuilds. First one is the missing gnome-common build-dependency:

make[1]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/bamf-0.5.3+16.10.20160929'
NOCONFIGURE=1 dh_autoreconf ./autogen.sh
You need to install the gnome-common module and make
sure the gnome-autogen.sh script is in your $PATH.
dh_autoreconf: ./autogen.sh returned exit code 1
debian/rules:11: recipe for target 'override_dh_autoreconf' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_autoreconf] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/bamf-0.5.3+16.10.20160929'
debian/rules:8: recipe for target 'build-arch' failed
make: *** [build-arch] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-arch gave error exit status 2

But even after this dependency is satisfied, the build seems to fail on use of some deprecated functions in the code. One example:

bamf-legacy-window.c: In function 'top_window_action_menu':
bamf-legacy-window.c:548:3: error: 'gdk_screen_get_monitor_scale_factor' is deprecated: Use 'gdk_monitor_get_scale_factor' instead [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
   scale = gdk_screen_get_monitor_scale_factor (gdk_screen_get_default (), 0);
