    This is already fixed in git, but we were told not to upload that version
    yet, to avoid interfering with the migration of the NMU currently
    in unstable (which, at the time, was believed to be sufficient and
    desirable). It is also already fixed in experimental (2.79.3-1).

    and upload the new version ASAP

    glib2.0 already has a Severity: critical bug related to this transition (#1065022) which I am attempting to resolve with a minimum of collateral
    damage (#1065170). I apologise for not having been able to resolve this instantaneously; maintaining GLib in Debian is not my only responsibility.

    If it is critically urgent that it must be uploaded to fix the missing
    dpkg-dev dependency as soon as possible, someone is welcome to upload
    what's in gnome-team git, but it takes me 2 hours per attempt to carry
    out the minimal level of testing on GLib that I understand the project
    to require from me (build, autopkgtest, piuparts), so it seems like it
    might be better to combine the upload for this with the upload to fix
    #1065022 when that change is ready.
