Git commit 826b8819dad2747f9d544e1603722b4838f003e7 by Simon McVittie on 31/01/2025 at 09:52..
Revert "Add build-dep on gobject-introspection-bin for GIR debhelper"

This was presumably prompted by a Lintian bug (#1063709), but
gobject-introspection-bin is an implementation detail which is not meant
to be depended on directly by anything except the other binary packages
built by src:gobject-introspection. The correct build-dependency here
is gobject-introspection (or dh-sequence-gir).

This reverts commit 0fc620be9efab44397ad9086138becb2beec5876.

Closes: #1094613

Git commit 432c03b57c8813d981cb9329075d3e2eb3997348 by Simon McVittie on 31/01/2025 at 10:39..
d/control: Add ${gir:Depends} to -dev packages

This ensures that they pull in all of the GIR XML modules necessary to
load their own GIR XML without error (in practice this means GObject/Gio
for both, and GdkPixbuf for appstreamcompose only).

Git commit 1521d064d4edc3693f9ca196a6d81e29fc2d9c43 by Simon McVittie on 31/01/2025 at 10:40..
d/control: Add ${gir:Provides} to -dev packages

This allows dependent packages to build-depend on the GIR XML by its
systematic name gir1.2-*-dev.

Fixes Lintian tag: gir-package-name-does-not-match

Git commit f63ae0f39c0357a4d32307c771c6b827b9168962 by Simon McVittie on 31/01/2025 at 10:45..
d/control: Add gir1.2-*-dev Build-Depends as suggested by dh_girepository

These systematic virtual package names correspond exactly to the
"includes" in the upstream build system, and can be seen as
"warning: Missing Build-Depends: .." when running dh_girepository.

Build-depending on gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0-dev is also an enabler for
being able to implement the nogir build profile in gdk-pixbuf without
breaking the build of src:appstream.

Explicitly build-depending on these means we no longer need to
build-depend on libgirepository1.0-dev, a legacy metapackage which for
historical reasons cannot be multiarch-friendly.

d/control, d/rules: Enable gir sequence declaratively

This makes it easier to turn it off under restricted build-profiles.

Git commit 22432bc4368e703a899da27d55cec09fe7e2f572 by Simon McVittie on 31/01/2025 at 11:02..
d/control, d/rules: Only require gi-docgen for arch-indep builds

We don't need to install or run gi-docgen if we are only building the
architecture-specific packages. This makes architecture-specific builds
faster and more reliable, especially on slow or otherwise non-mainstream
architectures.

Git commit 89219856783e25f3e4bd92e522507ce14235b582 by Simon McVittie on 31/01/2025 at 12:02..
d/control: Don't build API documentation under nodoc build-profile

Because this source package also builds apt-config-icons-*, it can make
sense to do an architecture-independent build without documentation.
