Please revert commit 0fc620be
"Add build-dep on gobject-introspection-bin for GIR debhelper".
gobject-introspection-bin is an implementation detail, and is not meant to
be depended on directly by anything except the other binary packages built
by src:gobject-introspection:
$ dpkg -s gobject-introspection-bin
...
This package contains the implementation for various tools.
Please do not depend on this package directly: use gobject-introspection
instead.
The correct build-dependency here is gobject-introspection (or
dh-sequence-gir, which also makes it unnecessary to pass --with=gir to dh,
if you prefer the more declarative style).
Is there some tool or piece of documentation that made you think that
gobject-introspection-bin was a better package to build-depend on? If yes,
we should get that tool or documentation fixed.
Possibly this was triggered by #1063709 in lintian, which was subsequently
fixed?
Thanks,
smcv
