Why do these need to be propagated?

This issue still persists, stopping me from being able to upgrade.
I also can't have both eog (Eye of GNOME) and the default glib
package installed, so just removing libnotify didn't help, and I'd
rather not play whack-a-mole with removing packages.

Some more insight into why there are multiple propagated versions of
libffi and glib would be greatly appreciated.
