Yes, new upstream release is best solution, if it release and glibmm2.4 package is updated until intrepid last freeze. But no time, I think I should prepare another choice too.

Thank you for your information. In Debian experimental, package has already been prepared for new upstream release. Because its package seems to fix this bug, I change my request to "Sync".

Debian changelog is following:
 glibmm2.4 (2.18.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * New upstream stable release.
   * Use POSIX standard regex classes in sed trick in debian/rules.

Ack'ed for intrepid final, changelog looks reasonable.
