Hi Simon et al,

I'm sorry for having broken glib2.0. I recently requested
python3-packaging to be marked M-A:foreign not realizing that it would
make glib2.0 ftbfs due to #1023438. In any case, glib2.0 now FTBFS as
dpkg-checkbuilddeps is unhappy. I don't think reverting
python3-packaging makes sense here and we'd rather want to drop the
remaining :native annotations even if that means some breakage in sid
atm. Would you like me to NMU glib2.0?

Helmut
