Bug#1082212: Depends/Build-Depends cycle with libgtk-4-dev

[Simon Richter]

Package: libsysprof-4-dev
Version: 3.46.0-4
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: sjr at debian.org

Hi,

when bootstrapping gtk 4, libsysprof-4-dev is one of the indirect build
dependencies of gtk-4, but itself depends on libgtk-4-dev.

It would be nice if there was a way to bootstrap, e.g. splitting off the
UI classes into a separate libsysprof-4-ui-dev and a build profile
without these packages, which would allow building these packages in
multiple stages.

Severity is minor bordering on wishlist, because it only affects new
ports.
