I would guess that this might be because the upstream build system
is only passing in libharfbuzz_gobject as a positional parameter
to gnome.generate_gir in the Meson build (and a similar setup in
Autotools), with libharfbuzz_dep in the dependencies list instead. To
the GObject-Introspection tools, this is the same as saying that
libharfbuzz_gobject is a positional parameter and the external libgobject
library is a dependency.
Please try passing in both libharfbuzz_gobject and libharfbuzz as
positional parameters, and removing libharfbuzz_dep from the dependencies
named argument. I suspect that will result in the .gir referring to both
libraries, the same way that /usr/share/gir-1.0/GLib-2.0.gir refers to
both libgobject-2.0.so.0 and libglib-2.0.so.0.
Similarly,
export_packages: ['harfbuzz-gobject'],
looks wrong to me: I would expect to see 'harfbuzz' in that list too,
leading to both pkg-config modules getting <package> elements in the GIR.
