[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#980831: libimobiledevice: reduce Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libimobiledevice
Version: 1.3.0-5
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

libimobiledevice participates in a number of dependency cycles relevant
to architecture bootstrap. Instead of looking into that, I looked into
easily droppable dependencies. I found that libreadline-dev is entirly
unused. I also observe that libimobiledevice is build with openssl and
thus libgcrypt20-dev and libtasn1-6-dev are also unused. Furthermore, it
only uses libplist-dev and not libplist++-dev. Please consider dropping
the mentioned dependencies. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience.
