Patch

I would like to make OPTIONal the run-dependency of glib20 on python, with a
default that keeps the current status. The reason is that many packages dep=
end
on glib only for its shared libraries, and it is unconvenient to have to
install 100MB of python just for that.

If MAINTAINER agrees, there are two approaches:

1. just make the run-dependency optional
This is what is currently implemented in the attached patch. The plist does=
 not
change so it's still possible to install python later to run glib-genmarshal
and friends.

2. make the run-dependency optional and skip the installation of anything t=
hat
relies on python
Perhaps safer, perhaps overkill given that python continues to be a
run-dependency by default and turning that off means you know what you are
doing. However, if you prefer this approach, I'm prepared to implement it.
