This is already fixed in git, but we were told not to upload that version
yet, to avoid interfering with the migration of the NMU currently
in unstable (which, at the time, was believed to be sufficient and
desirable). It is also already fixed in experimental (2.79.3-1).

glib2.0 already has a Severity: critical bug related to this transition
(#1065022) which I am attempting to resolve with a minimum of collateral
damage (#1065170). I apologise for not having been able to resolve this
instantaneously; maintaining GLib in Debian is not my only responsibility.

If it is critically urgent that it must be uploaded to fix the missing
dpkg-dev dependency as soon as possible, someone is welcome to upload
what's in gnome-team git, but it takes me 2 hours per attempt to carry
out the minimal level of testing on GLib that I understand the project
to require from me (build, autopkgtest, piuparts), so it seems like it
might be better to combine the upload for this with the upload to fix
#1065022 when that change is ready.
