Parts of its functionality have moved into GLib; other parts of its functionality have moved into the libglnx submodule. ---- libgsystem was partly a prototyping area for features that were considered for future GLib inclusion, and partly a Linux-specific supplement for the mostly-portable functionality in GLib. It is now deprecated, so it might not be needed by the time stretch freezes, but for now xdg-app (ITP forthcoming) and ostree (ITP #697477) depend on it. Since it does exist as an independent library, it seems better to package it separately than to bundle it twice. I only intend to upload it to experimental for the moment. S
