Bug#1094192: gir1.2-freedesktop: Deborphan incorrectly wants to remove it

[Bob Hauck]

Package: gir1.2-freedesktop
Version: 1.82.0-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

    * What led up to the situation?

    Recently upgraded from bookworm to sid. As usual I ran deborphan after
    and removed the items it suggested.

    * What was the outcome of this action?

    System-config-printer was removed. Reinstalling it brought back
    gir1.2-freedesktop. As a test I did an apt remove of that and it
    again wanted to remove system-config-printer and a bunch of gir1.2
    libraries.

    On bookworm, apt rdepends gir1.2-freedesktop reports a long list of
    gir1.2 libraries. On sid, it reports only:

    gir1.2-freedesktop
    Reverse Depends:
         Depends: gir1.2-freedesktop-dev (= 1.82.0-4)
         Depends: libgirepository1.0-dev (= 1.82.0-4)
         Depends: awesome
         Depends: gnome-shell

    It would seem that some dependencies must be wrong.

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

    On my bookworm systems deborphan does not report gir1.2-freedesktop
    as unused.
