Aha, thanks for finding that information. I wasn't able to find it when
I created this bug.

Hm, I don't think it's worth rebuilding 4466 packages on master just to
fix the handful of packages that actually use python-gst.

I wonder if we could create a new package called python-pygobject-3.48.2
and use it for python-gst? And then upgrade pygobject on the python-team
branch? That way we could avoid the rebuilds and avoid a graft.
