Please update vala to 0.48.18 in byzantium

Description

0.48.17 is not enough to build geary. Alternatively we could revert those bits in geary but since 0.48.18 is in Debian unstable already so a backporting looks like the saner thing to do (or even making sure it's allowed into bullseye).

What would be the preferred way to get this done?

Asking for a backport of the current version in Debian testing (while writing this is 0.48.18-1) into bullseye backports or building up a own backport for byzantium?
Getting a newer version via bullseye backport would minimize any maintenance effort within the PureOS system.

I can handle this low priority for the moment, i found ways to build geary for the moment but i expect this issue to become more urgent during the byznatium cycle again (if not for geary then for other packages using vala). Issue here is that this will likely involve a glib upgrade as well.

I agree that doing this via bullseye-backports would be the right way to do this.
