Yes.

Sure, but I think check on GLib is not sufficient and necessary,
when the hook run, it will use latest desktop-file-utils which may
use a different version of glib. Unless I use the desktop-file-utils
package installed from profile, but not like the gtk-icon-themes hook,
where gtk+ is the runtime dependency, desktop-file-utils is only used
to validate the desktop file during build phase, I can't get it from
manifest using the same (and IMO, heavy and ugly) method.
So, I end up using a simple 'manifest-lookup', which require the
desktop-file-utils and shared-mime-info to be installed explicitly.
