Discussion of whether gobject-introspection has the ideal dependencies
seems off-topic for a release.d.o bug, so I've sent a reply to #1030223,
dropping the release and apt teams from cc (but keeping -cross). Please
follow up there with any further g-i-specifics.

The part of this issue that was relevant for release.d.o was: given
the current metadata of g-i_1.78.1-9, was britney2 correct to think its
deps are satisfiable? And the answer was: no, it was a bug that britney2
disagreed with apt on this.

According to the experimental pseudo-excuses, it seems that Paul's fix
for that bug was successful, and the fixed version of britney2 is now
happy to (pretend to) migrate g-i_1.78.1-9 if its autopkgtests pass.

Thanks,
