There is a fix for this bug available in NEW:

https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/libfso-glib_2012.07.27.2-1.html

BTW, Debian strongly discourages embedded code copies:

https://wiki.debian.org/EmbeddedCodeCopies

Personally, I think the solution is to merge the specs into the library
source package and drop the specs source package. Unless the specs are
used in multiple source packages, then the solution is the one used by
libshr-glib (use Built-Using and don't ship pre-generated files).
