These are not actually maintained as part of GLib - they come from the
gobject-introspection source package. As a result, they're in the
libgirepository1.0-dev package.

What program or toolchain are you using that requires those GIR XML
files? It should probably have a dependency or build-dependency
(as appropriate) on libgirepository1.0-dev.

FYI, all gir1.2-* packages only contain the typelib files.
