Not having this in place seems to be causing autopkgtest regressions
for gobject-introspection that will prevent the libffi transition from
migrating, so I'm increasing this to RC severity.

cjs, gjs and libglib-object-introspection-perl have already had the
equivalent change, so this is the last one that is needed before we can
add all the necessary versioned Breaks in libgirepository-1.0-0.
