[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#880550: g2: Please build-depend on libgd-dev, not libgd2-dev

Package: g2
Version: 0.72-6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: FTBFS
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu bionic ubuntu-patch

Dear maintainers,

The g2 package build-depends on libgd2-dev, which is long obsolete.  The
libgd maintainer has recently dropped the Provides: of libgd2-dev from the
package, which means g2 now fails to build.

Please find attached the trivial fix for this issue.
