Package: gobject-introspection
Version: 1.78.1-15
Severity: serious
Tags: sid trixie

The package had in the past dependencies of the form

   python3 (<< 3.12), python3 (>= 3.11~), python3:any

the new one just

   python3:any

This leads to badly triggered autopkg tests, with a mismatching 
python3-defaults.  Afaik, gobject-introspection can only handle the 
default python version, not all supported python versions.

Currently seen in Ubuntu, where 3.12 already is the default, but we will 
see this on a much larger scale when doing the 3.12 transition in 
Debian.  From my point of view, this dependency has to be added back.

Same for the version in experimental.
