Bug#980769: pygobject: reduce Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: pygobject
Version: 3.38.0-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

pygobject has unsatisfiably cross Build-Depends. Instead of looking into
such hard problem, I looked into easily droppable Build-Depends and
found some. Since pygobject is normally reproducible, I verified that a
nocheck build with the following dependencies turned into
Build-Conflicts results in the same binary artifacts as a regular full
build:
 * at-spi2-core is mentioned in debian/changelog as having been added to
   fix tests. That looks like a good candidate to annotate <!nocheck>.
 * dbus (formerly dbus-x11) is also mentioned in debian/changelog as
   being used during tests. Likewise.
 * The documentation was formerly built using docbook, but it now uses
   restructured text. Thus docbook-xsl and xsltproc can be dropped.
 * flake8 is invoked via setup.py quality which is conditional to
   DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. Thus python3-flake8 can also be annotated
   <!nocheck>.
 * debian/changelog also hints that locales is needed to make tests
   pass. Annotate <!nocheck>.

Please consider applying the attached patch.
