Packages like these are really hard to review from the SRU POV, as there
is no reliable test-case that can be applied. The mass-rebuild can be
one way, but that does not seem like an enough test for such an update.

I will be accepting this but what I would like to see during validation:
 1) In some fresh PPA, perform a no-change rebuild of all vala rdeps (similar 
to what was done already) with -proposed enabled to build against the actual 
binaries we will have in the archive. 
 2) For those packages that FTBFS in the 1) PPA, create a separate PPA with 
-proposed *disabled* and no-change rebuild those there. I want to see if they 
also fail on what we have in bionic currently.
 3) Perform some overall dogfooding of a few vala-built packages against what 
is in -proposed, trying to see if things didn't get broken by the update. Just 
seeing packages built seems like not enough of a validation.

** Changed in: vala (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic
