As announced in [MBF] and [#1117130] the GNOME team would like to remove
libgirepository1.0-dev during the forky cycle. According to dak, this
source package contains a Depends or Build-Depends on
libgirepository1.0-dev which blocks its removal.
The README.Debian for libgirepository1.0-dev [README] provides advice on
how to choose an appropriate replacement for libgirepository1.0-dev, and
will be updated if new information becomes available.
astroidmail seems to be using the GObject-Introspection tools, so
probably its replacement for libgirepository1.0-dev should be
gobject-introspection (>= 1.80) and at least one gir1.2-*-dev package
(a skim-read of its build logs suggests gir1.2-gobject-2.0-dev and
gir1.2-gmime-3.0-dev might be appropriate).
