I have not totally confirmed this yet, but it looks like there are two
packages: one for python2.x and one for py3k. They are python-gobject and
python3-gobject. It also appears that in Ubuntu, it is somewhat standard
to have a separate package containing introspection data. I don't know how
well that would apply to us.
I will update after doing some testing.
