[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1032504: libguestfs: minor cross build improvements

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libguestfs
Version: 1:1.48.6-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

libguestfs Build-Depends on binutils. This dependency is implied by
build-essential for native builds and unsatisfiable during cross builds.
Please drop it. I've also noticed that libguestfs builds a perl
extension. In this case, it should depend on perl-xs-dev. While it has
tons of more cross satisfiability issues, these are fairly obvious
incremental fixes. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Please
close this bug when applying the patch.
