Glycin thumbnailers in Debian

Hi all,

glycin in 2.x has the option to build a thumbnailer [0]. In addition, gdk-pixbuf now has
the option to build its thumbnailer with libglycin [1]. libglycin is a C 
library compiled from Rust (and src:glycin). I think both are things we 
want to enable since the rust code is memory safe. I will definitely 
enable the glycin-own thumbnailer. Regarding gdk-pixbufs thumbnailer, I 
would like to hear the teams' opinions on that. This could be enabled 
only conditionally on the release arches for the time being. Upstream 
noted the only downside are the loaders being Linux-only since they rely 
on libseccomp.
