Your new package (libgssdp-1.0-dev version 0.7.2-2) wants to install a file 
that is already controlled by a currently installed package (gir-repository-
dev version 0:0.6.5-5ubuntu2).  The specific file is 
/usr/share/gir-1.0/GSSDP-1.0.gir.

IMO, neither package should install this file. /usr/share/$foo is usually the 
domain of a package named "$foo".

Finally, it appears that you are mixing repositories, which you should only do 
when you know the combination is safe, due to the policies governing each 
repository.

I can't make a recommendation on how to solve your issue without knowing more 
about why you are installing a package from a .dsc.  However, one way to fix 
you issue is, prior to building the .deb, to edit debian/rules so that 
/usr/share/gir-1.0/GSSDP-1.0.gir is not installed.
