An equivalent glib2.0 change is now in unstable.

Unfortunately, GTK 2 and 3 both have an equivalent issue for their input
method modules (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065493,
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065494 respectively).
I'm proposing to address this in the same way as for glib2.0 with
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gtk2/-/merge_requests/3 and
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gtk3/-/merge_requests/22 respectively
(untested, test-builds are in progress). As with glib2.0, I apologise for
not having caught this at nmudiff time.

gdk-pixbuf and GTK 4 probably have a latent version of the same issue,
but have avoided a practical problem during this particular transition by
not having any time_t in their ABIs and therefore not needing a rename,
so they are presumably not immediately urgent to address.

I have not attempted to audit other libraries that have plugins, either
inside or outside the GNOME team, for an equivalent problem.
