Well, I tried fixing with the attached patch (fix-gir.patch), using the patched dh_girepository. The resulting gir file (also attached) seems to reference libharfbuzz.so: [...] is that correct ?
Although the attached HarfBuzz-0.0.gir seems to be generated from Git head instead of version 6.0.0 which is the newest version packaged in Debian, it really seems to be alright. The missing parts are now included.
Simon, thank you for your proposal on how to fix this! And Ahmed, thank you for trying it out and pushing the bits upstream!

It was the unpatched dh_girepository that made the resulting gir1.2-harfbuzz-0.0 package depend only on libharfbuzz0b package.
Yes, the current (unpatched) dh_girepository is the other part of the whole problem.
