Dear maintainer,

Instead of splitting the binaries in libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev into a -dev-bin
package, we could simply move them into libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin.

libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin only contains gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer. In addition, the
package is already Multi-Arch: foreign, which is ideal for gdk-pixbuf-csource
and gdk-pixbuf-pixdata, as these programs have architecture-independent
interfaces and output.

Moving those binaries into libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin then allows
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev to become Multi-Arch: same.

A patch making the above changes is attached.

Please let me know if this acceptable or if you would prefer to split the binaries into a new package.
