        Hi,

 This is a followup for Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/317461>.

 I believe this is due to shlibs handling: you will get a
 self-dependency if you build glib in a system which has libglib
 installed.  I've fixed this for Gtk and Pango, so I suppose we will use
 the same fix for Glib.

 (The fix is to generate a shlibs.local after dh_makeshlibs which will
 cause no shlibs inter-dependencies at dh_shlibdeps time.  The
 shlibs.local file is removed after dh_shlibdeps to avoid polluting the
 source.)

   Bye,
