Control: block 845037 by -1

Dear Maintainer,

libschroedinger contains various possibly security relevant bugs and is
no longer maintained upstream. Therefore it has been decided to remove
it from Debian. (see bug #845037)

Before it can be removed, all reverse dependencies have to stop using it.

Attached is a patch dropping the build-dependency on libschroedinger-dev,
which is sufficient to achieve this.

libschroedinger was disabled already anyway due to:
Checking for libschroedinger ... no (ffmpeg (static) is required by libschroedinger, sorry)

Best regards,
Andreas
