Bug#1118518: gir1.2-entangle-0.1: please install GObject-Introspection typelib to /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/girepository-1.0

Package: gir1.2-entangle-0.1
Version: 3.0-4
Severity: normal
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: usr-lib-girepository-1.0
Control: found -1 3.0-5

gir1.2-entangle-0.1 installs Entangle-0.1.typelib into 
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/.

This is a legacy location, and is only searched because we apply a 
Debian-specific patch to libgirepository. Instead, please install the 
typelib file into /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/girepository-1.0.

The easiest way to do this (untested) should be to edit 
debian/gir1.2-entangle-0.1.install and replace:

usr/lib/*/girepository-1.0/Entangle-0.1.typelib usr/lib/girepository-1.0

with:

usr/lib/*/girepository-1.0/Entangle-0.1.typelib

When all of the 6 remaining packages that use the legacy location have 
been fixed, we will be able to stop patching libgirepository.

Thanks,
