Now that 11.8 has happened, I've uploaded this to stable-NEW. (Sorry for
the delay, there was some confusion on my part over whether the security
team wanted different changelog wording, but it seems they are now happy
with the version I proposed.)

I built an amd64 netboot-gtk image with this glib2.0's udeb included
(using steps similar to #1050868 and #1025708) and was able to install
a Plasma desktop successfully.

As mentioned previously, for those who cannot access stable-NEW, a
test-build that differs only in its changelog and version number can be
downloaded from: https://people.debian.org/~smcv/11.9/pool/main/g/glib2.0/
(built from commit f23101922 and mentioning that commit ID in its
version number). Testing by bullseye users would be appreciated, I don't
routinely run bullseye on my own systems any more.

The version I uploaded to stable-NEW is functionally equivalent to commit
f23101922, with the only difference being `dch -r`.

Thanks,
