Package: libgirepository1.0-dev Version: 1.31.0-2 Severity: wishlist libgirepository1.0-dev contains gobject-introspection-1.0.pc, which appears to be intended to represent the g-i command-line tools as well as the shared library (it includes variables like ${g_ir_scanner}), and also Makefile.introspection (in ${gidatadir}).
It seems to me as though the package containing the .pc file should provide all the interfaces advertised by that file, which could be done by making libgirepository1.0-dev depend on gobject-introspection. Not doing this led to telepathy-glib getting through ./configure successfully (because the .pc file was there), but then failing to build: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43200> (In a multiarch world, gobject-introspection should probably be Multi-arch: foreign to facilitate this, although this isn't very important - g-i isn't yet multiarch anyway, and neither are -dev packages.)
