For better or worse, GLib upstream intend for the ABI of the GLib cluster of libraries to be "if you use the pkg-config for one, you can rely on having the API and ABI of the ones lower in the stack". So a pkg-config check for gio-2.0 gives you all of GIO, GObject, GLib, GThread. > It > should cleanup many dependencies in our repository which aren't needed at all GLib, GObject, GIO, GModule and GThread are all one big library package (libglib2.0-0) so dpkg-shlibdeps is incorrect here: the dependency could not be avoided, because there is no additional dependency. I opened <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=689603> for this some time ago. > Maybe someone can check too why -pthread and -lrt is needed. I don't see a > reason here. -pthread might well be specifically needed to allow dlopen() to load GLib things into previously non-threaded processes: # NB: do NOT use -Wl,--as-needed to build glib; for instance the link to # pthread is carefully crafted to allow dlopen()ing pthread-using libs; see # http://mid.gmane.org/1257999019.21780.15.camel@marzipan LDFLAGS += -Wl,--no-as-needed (<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.gtk+.devel.general/18117> is another route to the same mail.) I don't know about -lrt; that one might be unnecessary. Again, these do not actually cause any extra dependencies: libc, librt and libpthread are all part of libc6 (or libc6.1 or libc0.1, if that's where the architecture's libc is kept). In practice I think this is wontfix for Debian's GLib maintainers; tagging accordingly. If you would like this to be changed upstream, please discuss it upstream (in GNOME).
