Bug#1028360: libgraphene-1.0-dev: demote libgirepository1.0-dev dependency to Recommends

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: libgraphene-1.0-dev
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability
Control: affects -1 + src:dino-im
X-Debbugs-Cc: nilesh at debian.org

The affected packages cannot satisfy their cross Build-Depends, because
their transitive dependency on python3-mako is not satisfiable. This
tends to be a long chain going through libgraphene-1.0-dev and
libgirepository1.0-dev. I believe that this particular edge is not
needed. To validate this claim I checked all of libgraphene-1.0-dev's
reverse build dependencies. It's just 182. Out of those, 81 actually
pull[1] libgirepository1.0-dev via other means and are thus unaffected
by this change. Another 92 build successfully[2] without this package.
That leaves 9 failing builds to be investigated:
 * cawbird #1016551
 * clapper fails due to the missing dependency
 * gnome-calculator has an unrelated test failure
 * janus #1027656
 * kwin-effect-xrdesktop #993015
 * libshumate fails due to the missing dependency
 * phosh-tour #1027618
 * phosh fails due to the missing dependency
 * xrdesktop #997389

As we can see, only 3 source packages need an explicit dependency. This
sounds fair enough for Recommends to me. Do you agree?

The following bts lines will create the appropriate bugs when sent to
the bug.
