I figured that out five minutes ago.  Thanks.  B-)

Sorry, what I wrote is /really/ misleading. valac still requires the 
GIRs to be present. valac will still /start/ parsing the GIR. Once it 
gets to a element (which tells us what pkg-config package 
corresponds to that GIR) valac will look to see if that package has 
already been provided and, if so, skip the rest of the GIR. 

I see.  That makes sense.

It looks like the package has some other problems (both in its .gir and its packaging itself), so I'll work 
with Ubuntu to sand down the rough edges and wrap this up.
