Hi, I see you reopened the bug, after tagging it as wontfix.
I'm not sure what you plan to do with this, but I'd like to point out
that two months ago, grub2 maintainers did something similar to what I
suggested for irqbalance :
-----
grub2 (2.02~beta3-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Drop build-dependency on libxen-dev, unnecessary now that upstream
has taken a copy of the necessary public headers.
-----
This shows that there are indeed exceptions to the "no redundant code"
rule in Debian.
At the risk of repeating myself, I find it really questionable that such
a low-level package as irqbalance, recommended by the kernel packages
and dealing with the CPU, has a (build-)dependency against Glib, which
has nothing to do on servers.
Regards,
