Bug#1070706: gtk4 udeb has unsatisfiable dependencies

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hi Simon,

Yeah, I forgot to mention it when I worked on making d-i buildable and
runnable again, then decided it didn't matter as it's not used (TTBOMK)
at the moment.

If udebs are actually used, I call that an RC bug and try to get it
fixed swiftly (sometimes NMUing right away when time is of the essence).
Otherwise I usually let those fly (without even filing bug reports).
