True. This isn't about the user to have to install libglib, it's
hard to avoid that anyway and it doesn't really hurt eiter. This
is more about the backport issue. But on second glance this is really
only a issue for woody... Ok, I will not oppose addition of this check.

On the other hand lintian gets more and more tests with each upload. We
really should consider to give the user more choice if he really needs
all that stuff... But for me that's clearly on the post-sarge list.
