Bug#495887: libgucharmap-dev should depend on libgconf2-dev

Package: libgucharmap-dev
Version: 1:2.22.3-1
Severity: normal

Since libgucharmap uses libgconf, its .pc file states that it requires
gconf-2.0.  Thus, trying to compile a program with libgucharmap in the
normal way, e.g.

cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gucharmap` foo.c

fails unless libgconf2-dev is also installed on the system.

As this makes libgucharmap-dev effectively unusable without
libgconf2-dev, I feel this merits a 'Depends'.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with build- or other dependencies
for the gucharmap program itself, it relates to compiling programs
that use libgucharmap.
