Thank you for forwarding my patch. I agree with upstream that
-Denable-gir=true is the better solution here. In several other
packages, gir was forcefully disabled by the build system for cross
builds. In babl, it is the default instead. Stating the choice
explicitly in debian/rules is good. I should have done that right from
the start, but I thought it was like the others. Sorry for the bad
patch.

Helmut
