... then it is unclear / misleading why you are referencing the "glib-
json" source package and then mentioning the -dev binary package (with
a "too") as if they are separate concerns.

You have misread what I wrote. I am not asking you to do that locally
or otherwise. I am asking why we (LTS) don't apply that commit and
upload it to jessie.

Yes. (Issues in Debian should almost always have a bug report, at
least so we can track the versions affected.)
