libglib-perl's autopkgtest fails when run against GLib 2.60.x from
unstable, with several failures all similar to this:

not ok 18
#   Failed test at t/g.t line 90.
#          got: 'some string'
#     expected: 'some string
# '

The trailing newline was considered to be a bug, and GLib 2.59 fixed it
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/107), but the Perl binding's
tests seem to be asserting otherwise.

A patch appears to be available upstream at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/perl-glib/merge_requests/1 with a comment
from a Debian Perl maintainer saying that it will be in the next upload,
so I've marked this as already being pending.

Thanks,
