The first thing that comes to mind:
1. ask the user if he wants the optional depends via a normal config_query
2a. if he said no, there is no problem
2b. else if glib2 is installed, give him the optional depends
2c. if it isn't, no option, but setup a trigger. Since a reconfigure would be 
needed, the script trigger would need to be used (think the recent linux-pam 
one)

If we did part of that in a grimoire function, we could get away with uglier 
hacks. I don't want people doing them by themselves.
