[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#866732: node-iconv: Please drop bogus build dependency on libc6-dev

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Source: node-iconv
Version: 2.2.1-2
Severity: important

Hi!

src:node-iconv has a direct build dependency on libc6-dev which is
not required and also not recommended as it breaks the build depedencies
on some architectures.

libc6-dev is always pulled in through build-essential which is present
on all buildds and build chroots.

Please drop libc6-dev from Build-Depends in debian/control.

See Debian Policy, Section 7.7 [1].

Adrian
