The upstream readme now says:
> ** This project is basically end-of-life **
>
> It was never really meant to be used outside of Builder and Sysprof
> projects as it was a convenient spot to share code.
>
> Ideally, GTK 4 has what you need.
It hasn't yet been archived, but now that neither Builder nor Sysprof
is using it, that seems unlikely to be far away.
The only two packages in Debian that still use it are
- gitg, which if I'm reading correctly has a single call to
Dazzle.pango_font_description_to_css() which could likely just be copied
into the gitg codebase;
- gnome-photos, which makes non-trivial use of it
