As announced in 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/08/msg00150.html I would like 
to try to remove libgirepository1.0-dev during the forky cycle, but we 
cannot do this while it has reverse-dependencies. I still plan to do a 
mass-bug-filing for this, but for the moment I have only been fixing 
GNOME and GNOME-adjacent packages, and a few of the highest-visibility 
packages in other teams.

Mass-filed bugs will be usertagged to appear at the link above, and 
marked as blockers for this bug.

For more information about the changes needed in dependent packages, 
please see 
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gobject-introspection/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/libgirepository1.0-dev.README.Debian?ref_type=heads 
which will be kept up-to-date with any changes to the advice given. A 
version of this file (possibly outdated) is included in the 
libgirepository1.0-dev package.
