I tested this with a local package build and local repo in a mantic container,
doing an `apt --dry-run dist-upgrade` without/with that repo (w/ noble apt
sources list),
and manually download/run noble's release upgrader without/with that repo.
The behavior is the same (ie, no regressions) as expected;
libglib2.0-0 is removed in favor of libglib2.0-0t64 in all cases.

Title:
Drop libglib2.0-0 transitional package
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in glib2.0 source package in Noble:
In Progress
Bug description:
Impact
------
apt can struggle with ordering when handling the massive Y2028 time_t
transition when upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
It was identified that dropping the libglib2.0-0 transitional package
can help apt do things in the correct order.
Test Case
---------
Is libglib2.0-0 built?
Other Info
----------
This is related to LP: #2061918 for the thunderbird deb to snap upgrade
There are likely several other Launchpad bugs that can be resolved by
this update and some other workarounds in other packages, like in the
transitional thunderbird package.
