Reassigning to libglib2.0-dev as a typo fix, but as explained below I
don't think libglib2.0-dev should be changed here.

That means that those packages are buggy.

  $ pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
  -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include

If you make that change, you'll break multiarch cross-building using
GLib.  The packages that fail to set the correct include path should be
fixed instead.
