Dear Maintainer,

awesome does not run properly in a system in which glib-2.86 is
installed because it uses symbols (Gio.Unix*) that have been moved from
the Gio namespace to the GioUnix namespace.

Thus some operations such as spawning a process won't work anymore as
reflected by the autopkgtests failures.

The patch fixing the issue is at:
  https://salsa.debian.org/3v1n0/awesome/-/commit/d184a1f312f63bc2bab68862

And upstreamed at:
  https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/4022
