Hi,

glib2.0 is posing to be difficult to cross compile, but we need to cross
compile libxt for bootstrapping. To enable dropping glib2.0, please make
the libglib2.0-dev dependency optional (via <!nocheck>). I'm attaching a
patch for your convenience.

Hello X maintainers,

I have uploaded the attached patch to delayed/10 in agreement with NMU
guidelines. The upload cherry-picks an upstream commit that makes libxt
build with gcc-15. I guess that the next maintainer upload will update
libxt to a new upstream release where this patch needs to be dropped. It
also annotates the glib2.0 build dependency <!nocheck> as that has
become a requirement for architecture cross bootstrap. Let me know if
these changes need to be deferred any longer.

Helmut
