Ugh, and the buggy package was in unstable for more than 10 days, but I
guess better safe than sorry.
I have a script to produce a list of everything that should be rebuilt
(~1500 binNMUs...). Once the fixed glib2.0 is available in all arches,
I'll rerun it and schedule them, unless somebody has a better idea.
Cheers,
