This is a small dependency, but it still depends on GLib; my
understanding is that building any profile would end up pulling in GLib
because of this hook.

Should we have some heuristic as for the GTK+ and GHC hooks to avoid
pulling it in?

For instance, we could check whether GLib is already an indirect
dependency of at least one of the packages.  WDYT?

Thank you!
