Hi! I've applied the fix suggested by Andrea and prepared and NMU. It's noticeable that right now this doesn't FTBFS anymore, however, the build dependency is still necessary if building in an environment with an older valac, so I'm going to do the long awaiting NMU.
I'm attaching the diff of the NMU that I'll be uploading to the 3-day delayed queue. -- Cheers, Marga
