That would be one solution. Another solution would be to stop using
dbus-glib, which was officially deprecated in 2015, has been discouraged
since before that, and is essentially unmaintained. Wherever possible,
please use GDBus (part of libglib2.0-dev) instead.

Fixing multiarch development issues in a deprecated library, with a
trip through the NEW queue and an extra Packages stanza required to
apply the solution, is far from the top of my priority list.
