As announced in [MBF] and [#1117130] the GNOME team would like to remove 
libgirepository1.0-dev during the forky cycle. According to dak, this 
source package contains a Depends or Build-Depends on 
libgirepository1.0-dev which blocks its removal.

The README.Debian for libgirepository1.0-dev [README] provides advice on 
how to choose an appropriate replacement for libgirepository1.0-dev, and 
will be updated if new information becomes available.

I'm including cogl in the mass bug filing but it is probably not 
going to be fixed, because we want to remove it instead.
