gramps recommends gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 but this package is no longer
built in Debian.

This might be as simple as patching the code to import version 0.16
instead of 0.10 and then updating the recommends to gir1.2-gexiv2-0.16

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

I'm raising the severity of this issue because I believe it is a
violation of Debian Policy § 2.2.1 for a package in main to recommend
a package that is not also in main.
