Research direction
Read the linked comment on PR #2806 (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/2806#issuecomment 353667934) to understand the expected behavior. Then examine the Meson source code, particularly the gnome module's gtk doc handling in mesonbuild/mesonbuild/modules/gnome.py. Look for how content files dependencies are processed and ensure they are added correctly. The fix likely involves modifying the dependency resolution logic in the build system.
