I usually include extensive DescPackaging/DescPort notes (even diagnosis and explanation when it's not obvious why something can't be fixed). That one states: libgio sometimes runs %p/bin/update-desktop-database from the desktop-file-utils package or %p/bin/update-mime-database from the shared-mime-info package, but those programs link against libglib. Leave it as %N-shlibs:Recommends:... to break the circular dependency. Ick. Required for self-test, so would need to build (but not test) glib2, then build d-f-u & s-m-i against it, then rebuild glib2 with testing enabled.
