Date:   Thu May 15 10:23:20 2025 +0100

    d/control: Add B-D on required GIR XML (gir1.2-*-dev) packages
    
    These are currently part of their libraries' main -dev packages, but
    might get split out or excluded by the nogir build-profile in a
    future version.

    Drop B-D on -doc packages
    
    gtk-doc needed this for cross-references, but gi-docgen works differently.

Author: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Date:   Thu May 15 10:06:30 2025 +0100

    d/control: Drop B-D on dependencies of gi-docgen
    
    These were added when gi-docgen was not yet stable, and we used a
    vendored copy. We now use the packaged copy instead.
    
    Closes: #1105775
