cruft creates a report regarding this package:
---- missing: dpkg ----
       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio
       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules

This is due to libglib2.0-0 lists this directory and file but does not
ship it by default.
The postinst script contains the following comment:

# The /usr/lib/gio/modules directory is no longer shipped by
# libglib2.0 itself so we need to check to avoid a warning from
# gio-querymodules

Can you elaborate what is supposed to be the bug here?

On a minimal non graphical system without any gio modules installed, e.g.
the packages glib-networking or dconf-gsettings-backend, the directory
 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules does not exist.
Due to the entry in debian/libglib2.0-0.dirs, the path is contained on the
system at /var/lib/dpkg/info/libglib2.0-0:amd.list .
Cruft then complains about the nonexistence of the path.

Maybe the directory could be shipped empty?

Can you elaborate what is supposed to be the bug here?

Well, it is shipped by libglib2.0-0

# dpkg -L libglib2.0-0 | grep gio/modules
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules

Did you try to actually check the directory's presence ? I think OP is
onto something here:

raph@atlantis:~$ dpkg -L libglib2.0-0 | grep gio/modules
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules
raph@atlantis:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules: No such file or
directory

This is on a Jessie amd64 server, headless, no recommended packages,
libglib2.0-0 version 2.42.1-1+b1. But on a Jessie i386 server, same
conditions:

raph@kanon:~$ dpkg -L libglib2.0-0 | grep gio/modules
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gio/modules
raph@kanon:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gio/modules
total 0

Indeed, the amd64 version doesn't actually ship the directory, although
it's listed as belonging to the package.

So, my only guess is, that *something else* removed that directory

Not reproducible on bookworm.
