I would argue that this is more a bug than a wishlist item. Functionality is being moved from gedit into tepl (a "Text editor product line" library). For instance, gedit_utils_str_middle_truncate() was deprecated in gedit 3.36 and removed in 3.38[1], replaced with tepl_utils_str_middle_truncate().
For my plugin Control Your Tabs, I had to inline the function[2] because I couldn't count on users (on Debian and Debian-derived OSes) having gir1.2-tepl-5 installed so that I could call tepl_utils_str_middle_truncate(). (Contrast this with the Fedora tepl rpm, which has the GObject introspection binding included in the same package[3] and so does not have this problem.) Should I file an issue upstream (Debian)? Would submitting a patch help?
