Bug#526219: glib2.0: prefer libgamin-dev over libfam-dev?

Hi folks,

The current glib2.0 package build-depends on libfam-dev | libgamin-dev. 
Would it be too much to ask to reverse the order of these build
dependencies?  ABI compatibility between the two libraries is enforced, so
the outcome should be equivalent, but in Ubuntu we have gamin as part of the
supported package set, not fam - so the current order makes it harder to
reconcile Ubuntu's main archive.

And at one point, I thought Debian was switching to use gamin in preference
over fam, as well - but this doesn't appear to be the case now?

If you don't want to make this change, feel free to close out the bug report
and we'll cope with the small inconsistency.

Thanks,
