It looks as though this would break growl-for-linux (#967462):

smcv at coccia ~ % dak rm -R -n -b libayatana-appindicator1 gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator-0.1 libayatana-appindicator-dev libayatana-appindicator0.1-cil libayatana-appindicator0.1-cil-dev
Will remove the following packages from unstable:

gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator-0.1 |   0.5.92-1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
libayatana-appindicator-dev |   0.5.92-1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
libayatana-appindicator0.1-cil |   0.5.92-1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
libayatana-appindicator0.1-cil-dev |   0.5.92-1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
libayatana-appindicator1 |   0.5.92-1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
...
# Broken Build-Depends:
growl-for-linux: libayatana-appindicator-dev

so #967462 will need to be fixed first.

growl-for-linux has no runtime dependency on these libraries, which
suggests that it might be possible to fix #967462 by removing its
(unused?) build-dependency.
