Bug#1110399: gvfs-backends: Disable google backend to get rid of libgdata

[Bastian Germann]

Package: gvfs-backends
Version: 1.26.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Control: block 1073958 by -1

I have tried to use the google backend but failed to do so.
It depends on libgdata which depends on libsoup2.4 and keeps it in the
key package set. Please consider building without google backend.

A patch implementing this is attached.
