Package: gobject-introspection
Version: 1.42.0-2
Severity: normal

I used to move typelib files to
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Foo-X.Y.typelib using install file and missed
M-A feature for that package. (ibus)

As I see bug reports like https://bugs.debian.org/762832 (fcitx), M-A
compatibility of gobject-introspection has been improved.  But the only
place documented is in changelog.  

At least policy text as follows require update.

| 1. Directory layout
| 
| GObject-introspection data is generally provided in two formats:
|       * XML format in /usr/share/gir-1.0/Foo-X.Y.gir
|       * binary format in /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Foo-X.Y.typelib

I see quite a bit of M-A packages installing files in 
   /usr/lib/<triplet>/girepository-1.0/Foo-X.Y.typelib

So this part of policy needs update mentioning automatically generated
versioned B-D on gobject-introspection (>= 1.41.4).

By the way, gobject-introspection is marked simply as Arch: any.

Why not Arch: all / M-A: foreign  ?  (Just curiopus.  Its Python.)
