[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#653705: gtk-vnc: FTBFS if libpulse-dev is installed

Package: gtk-vnc
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

I got this error while trying to build gtk-vnc:
  [...]
  dh_girepository
  dh_girepository: Could not find gir file for GVncPulse-1.0.typelib
  make[1]: *** [override_dh_makeshlibs] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/flavio/src/gtk-vnc'
  make: *** [binary] Error 2

This is because debian/gir1.2-gtk-vnc-2.0.install installs the entire
usr/lib/girepository-1.0 directory, which contains GVncPulse-1.0.typelib if
Pulseaudio was found during configure:
  [...]
  checking for PULSEAUDIO... yes
  [...]

However, there is no libgvncpulse package, so GVncPulse-1.0.gir is not
installed anywhere.

I don't know if libgvncpulse is useful, but either way the package needs a
Build-Conflicts or a Build-Depends on libpulse-dev.
