gEDA/gaf 1.10.2 works fine with both Guile 2.2 and Guile 2.0.

libfam can be replaced with libgamin, but disabling it also works.

gEDA/gaf requires Python2 >= 2.7 (which means python2.7-dev in 
Debian/Ubuntu).  I'd recommend installing all dependencies listed in 
README in one go.

The dependencies of guile-2.2-dev do seem a bit over the top (I wonder if
some of these could have been "recommends"), but the Guile development 
headers are required to build gEDA/gaf because the API functions need to 
interact with Guile on a C level.  Since gschem and gaf don't work without 
executing some Guile files, gEDA/gaf can't be built without guile-2.2-dev.
