Subject: libmodulemd: depends on non-multiarch-friendly libgirepository1.0-dev

Control: block 1117130 by -1

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.

libmodulemd seems to follow the typical pattern for a package that has a 
public C/C++ library with GObject-Introspection bindings, so it can 
probably follow the same conversion steps as other libraries like 
libmanette: 
<https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/libmanette/-/merge_requests/6>.
