We made it so that gobject-introspection also considers the non
multi-arch path too. The change that affects packages is that the value
of the `typelibdir' variable in g-i's pkgconfig file was changed, so
build systems that respect this will install these somewhere else and
maintainers might have to update their .install files or similar - and
preferably version the BD accordingly.

What problem are you experiencing exactly?

Cheers,
