I do not understand why we recommend it for colord. Mind you, I
am not convinced that colord is useful without (at least) GNOME Color
Manager, whatever that might be. At some point I put it into my
builds to perhaps go back to trying to use my ColorHUG, and it seems
to have remained.

I have been building colord-1.2.8 with:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--with-daemon-user=colord \
--disable-gusb \
--disable-polkit \
${KM_SYSD} \
--disable-argyllcms-sensor \
--disable-bash-completion \
--disable-static
where KM_SYSD is set as
KM_SYSD="--enable-systemd-login=no --with-systemdsystemunitdir=no"
(a legacy of when systemd was in LFS).
So, in the absence of introspection (and gusb) configure reports:
checking for gobject-introspection... no
The only one of the recommended deps that I usually provide is
gudev. But then I only have colord as a build dep (well, I'm
assuming something still uses it, but I have not checked).
