totem has a build-dependency on libgdata, but it doesn't seem to have any
features that would require libgdata any more. Perhaps integration with
Youtube or a similar service was already removed?
libgdata is no longer maintained upstream, so we should clean up unused
dependencies on it to get a more realistic picture of how hard it would
be to remove libgdata.
I'm testing whether the Build-Depends on libgdata-dev can be removed
without affecting the binary package contents.
