The binNMUs are so that packages build-depending on python-gobject-dev don't build-depend on libffi*. That was because /usr/lib/pkgconfig/pygobject-2.0.pc had libffi in Libs instead of Requires.private. So what libffi*-dev package is installed is not an issue here, as those package *don't* build-depend on libffi*-dev. But the rebuild will remove the unneeded libffi dependency. Cheers, Emilio
