The question I have has to do with bug number https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=955971 Xiphos depends on deprecated dbus-glib. And there's lots of other packages also depending on this deprecated library. My question is then, what are the options to handle this bug number 955971. We could be doing nothing just now and leave the bug number as it is. We also could, say, write patches, that either disable the dependency on dbus-glib. Or perhaps there's other ways to deal with it. What do you think?
