Hi.

Currently noone worked on that branch, I believe, but Eelco (and also me) thinks that we should (attempt to) integrate it before 14.10.

I think [1] is relevant. My personal take on this is that if we don't
want to pull in Python with glib then the maintainer should offer a
configurable flag in the glib package which when set, passes the
appropriate flags to the build process. Think Gentoo USE flags.

No, it's about something else. Especially for development/library packages, there's lots of stuff that isn't needed at runtime (headers, generators, etc.). These are supposed to be split, mostly automatically, into a separate output. Other distros often have *-dev variants of packages for the same purpose.

Referred [1] is work on one particular package, but we want to (attempt to) do this for almost all packages by shared code, probably by stdenv modification.
