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.
Please consider the attached patches.
I tried to use diffoscope to check that they make no difference to the
built binaries (as is usually the case for similar changes), but in a
rebuild with these patches applied, lots of offsets in the shared
library seem to be different. As far as I can see, the actual code is
the same. Perhaps this package isn't 100% reproducible or deterministic?
Thanks,
smcv
