[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#981604: libplist: drop unused Build-Depends: chrpath, libxml2-dev

Source: libplist
Version: 2.2.0-4
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

libplist participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked
into easily droppable dependencies. I found that chrpath is not used
anywhere and that the NEWS file mentions libxml2-dev as unused since
version 2.0.0. Please consider applying the attached patch to drop both.
