As announced in [MBF] and [#1117130] the GNOME team would like to remove
libgirepository1.0-dev during the forky cycle. According to dak, this
source package contains a Depends or Build-Depends on
libgirepository1.0-dev which blocks its removal.

The README.Debian for libgirepository1.0-dev [README] provides advice on
how to choose an appropriate replacement for libgirepository1.0-dev, and
will be updated if new information becomes available.

haskell-haskell-gi seems to be a language binding that uses libgirepository-1.0,
so probably it should use libgirepository-1.0-dev (or
libgirepository-2.0-dev) as its replacement.
