[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#979368: pacemaker should drop unused Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: pacemaker
Version: 2.0.5-1
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

pacemaker has a lot of build dependencies and is involved in a number of
dependency cycles relevant to architecture bootstrap. Before looking
into the actual cycles, an easy measure is dropping those that are not
used in any way. Here we go:

 * dctrl-tools is documented (thanks) as being used for
   debian/check_header_deps. That file does not exist.
 * libesmtp-dev seems entirely unused. I looked for #includes or
   something that would link it to no avail.
 * libsnmp-dev also seems unused. I couldn't find and use of it.
 * libsensors-dev is documented as used by net-snmp-config --agent-libs,
   which we just dropped.

The nice thing is that pacemaker builds reproducibly. I attempted a
build with all of these dependencies turned into Build-Conflicts and
doing so results in bit-identical artifacts. It seems like a relatively
safe bet that we can just drop them. Please consider applying my patch.
