Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1) run /usr/share/apt-xapian-index/update-apt-xapian-index-dbus
  2) Observe it terminate with an error and does not update the index
     "Failed to import 'No module named 'glib'', can not use dbus"

  Mai 09 15:42:11 bear dbus[1017]: [system] Activated service 'org.debian.AptXapianIndex' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

  The correct import should be:

      from gi.repository import GLib as glib
      from gi.repository import GObject as gobject
