As announced in

to try to remove libgirepository1.0-dev during the forky cycle, but we
cannot do this while it has reverse-dependencies. I still plan to do a
mass-bug-filing for this
I've done the MBF:
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org&tag=libgirepository1.0-dev
based on information from dak:
https://people.debian.org/~smcv/temp/2025/mbf-libgirepository1.0-dev/
but _rene_ points out that this missed at least libreoffice, which has a
Build-Depends-Arch on libgirepository1.0-dev.
This might mean that 'dak rm -R -n -b libgirepository1.0-dev' doesn't
know about Build-Depends-Arch, which if true seems concerning, since
that's the same tool the ftp team use to see whether it's safe to remove
packages? (Or perhaps I'm just using it wrong.)
