Most of the packages that “require” it are actually Electron apps that copy&pasted their dependency lists from elsewhere or failed to update them: Chromium (and subsequently Electron) haven’t been dependent on this for years.
If you want to help, you can ask the maintainers of all those apps if they really still need gconf.
None that I use still need it (spotify and hamsket-bin), and their maintainers removed the superfluous dependency.

If you got build issues, please make sure
base-develgroup is installed [1]If the build is still not working, use clean chroots [2] to build it.
