I agree with your analysis, I suspect a mistake in the use of
PKG_CHECK_MODULES as src/Makefile.am uses a mysterious $(PKG_LIBS)
which is nowhere to be found. I just tried replacing PKG_LIBS with
GLIB_LIBS and it seems to address this problem:
bee% objdump -x debian/tmp/usr/lib/libmms.so | grep NEEDED
NEEDED libglib-2.0.so.0
NEEDED libc.so.6
I'll do an upload addressing this bug soonish.
I've lowered the severity of the bug because if you rely on pkg-config
to provide the linker flags, you'll end up with binaries linked to
glib, and the only package in Debian build-depending on libmms-dev is
gst-plugins0.8 which uses pkg-config to link against libmms.
Bye,
