Bug#980897: sphinxbase: drop unused Build-Depends

Source: sphinxbase
Version: 0.8+5prealpha+1-12
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

sphinxbase participates in a number of dependency loops relevant to
architecture bootstrap. Rather than look into such a difficult problem,
I looked into easily droppable dependencies. It turns out that the
dependencies on libsamplerate-dev and libsndfile1-dev are entirely
unused. While libsndfile is mentioned in the changelog for 0.7, neither
of them is mentioned in the source anywhere. I think both can be dropped
with no replacement. Please consider applying the attached patch.
