The answer seems to be that -p is always interpreted as dh_girepository's
local -p option, and the second -p overwrites the first, so it's
equivalent to dh_girepository -l src -p /usr/lib/mutter. To get the
effect that was intended, write:
    dh_girepository --package=$(cdbs_curpkg) -l src -p /usr/lib/mutter
