[Pkg-deepin-devel] Bug#1112398: go-dlib: Build-Depends on unmaintained libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-dev

go-dlib Build-Depends on packages from gdk-pixbuf-xlib, which is no 
longer maintained upstream and has been archived, meaning that issue 
reports and contributions are no longer accepted.

The readme of the archived project says:

    No newly written code should ever use this library.

    If your existing code depends on gdk-pixbuf-xlib, then you're strongly
    encouraged to port away from it.

This deprecation applies to <gdk-pixbuf-xlib/*.h> and the 
gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0 pkg-config module, which means the 
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-dev and libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0 Debian packages.

go-dlib doesn't seem to have a runtime dependency on 
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0, so it is possible that the Build-Depends is 
obsolete and no longer necessary. Please check whether it can be 
removed.

Thanks,
