IMHO gio-fam-backend should not be implicit dependency. Otherwise why

FWIW x11-toolkits/gtkdatabox2 (PR 116120) do not need gio-fam-backend.

Well, all ports should depend on gio-fam-backend. The gio is included and part of glib20. marcus had to split gio out of glib20 package to avoid circle dependency of glib20 -> gamin (FAM replacement) -> glib20. If marcus doesn't split and you guys will have that gio library anyway.

Uh, I should have check in glib20 and gio-fam-backend before I made that comment. I thought that gio (libgio-2.0.so) is in gio-fam-backend, but not it's in glib20. The gio-fam-backend only installs libgiofam.so and FAM support is option in glib configure. I don't think it will be easy to make optional (maybe I am wrong) with that split. Remove gio-fam-backend dependency is going to hurt some users if they want some missing fuction(s) of it.
