Bug#842047: libglib2.0-dev : Depends: python3:any

Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.50.1-1

For some reason libglib2.0-dev ​depends ​
on python interpreter which is the problem​
for environments which python is not wanted/needed on.​ For example it's
impossible to install `librsvg2-dev` without installing python3 interpreter.

I suggest that the ​part which depends on python would migrate to
a recommended (optional) package.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64, kernel 4.7.6-1
and libc6 2.24-5.

​P.S. I know (and don't care) that python ​
​is the part of LSB. I cannot see this
is the reason good enough to pollute a production server with hazardous
dependencies.
