Here are the mentions of glib-compile-resources in packages.

All of them:

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=glib-compile-resources
curl -s https://codesearch.debian.net/results/30e4eb821ceedd07/packages.json | jq -r '.Packages[]'|LC_ALL=C sort -u > ~/tmp/glib-compile-resources/all.txt

pkg-config query (glib-2.0.m4 or otherwise):

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=variable[+%3D]glib_compile_resources
curl -s https://codesearch.debian.net/results/d3d180719676ef8e/packages.json | jq -r '.Packages[]'|LC_ALL=C sort -u > ~/tmp/glib-compile-resources/pkg-config.txt

Finding it some other way, mostly via PATH search:

combine all.txt not pkg-config.txt > not-pkg-config.txt

Path might be hard-coded:

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5B%2F%5Dglib-compile-resources
- glib2.0 (builds glib-compile-resources itself)
- msitools (false positive, hard-codes a Windows path)
- ruby-gnome2 (false positive, refers to GLib docs and contains an old
  GLib patch)

So I think it's OK to omit the formerly Debian-specific triplet-location.

The only packages whose build could be broken by moving
glib-compile-resources to -dev-bin are those that find it in PATH (not
via pkg-config), but do not build-depend on -dev or on -dev-bin, or on
one of an assortment of GTK libraries which themselves depend on
libglib2.0-dev (and for which it's reasonable to assume they will
always do so IMO):

for source in $(<not-pkg-config.txt); do grep-dctrl -FPackage -X "$source" /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources | grep-dctrl -n -sPackage --not -FBuild-Depends -FBuild-Depends-Indep -FBuild-Depends-Arch -w 'libglib2\.0-dev|libglib2\.0-dev-bin|libgtk-3-dev|libgtkmm-3\.0-dev|libglibmm-2\.0-dev|libgdk-pixbuf2\.0-dev|libgtk2\.0-dev' - | uniq; done

which produces this list:

aubio - false positive, contains waf which mentions g-c-r
jackd2 - same as aubio
lilv - same as aubio
lv2 - same as aubio
mpv - same as aubio
msitools - false positive as mentioned above
netsurf - transitive dependency via librsvg2-dev
norm - same as aubio
ns3 - same as aubio
revolt - will be broken by this change
ruby-gnome2 - false positive as mentioned above
serd - same as aubio
showq - same as aubio
sord - same as aubio
sratom - same as aubio
tilix - transitive dependency via libgtkd-3-dev
traildb - same as aubio

So I think I'll only need to report a bug against revolt, asking for
it to build-depend on
libglib2.0-dev-bin (>= next version) | libglib2.0-bin (<< next version),
or on libglib2.0-dev. Because it's Architecture: all (so won't hurt porters)
and has a popcon of 20 installations (so won't hurt many users), that
doesn't seem problematic to do.
