Bug#885108: inkscape: Consider dropping gnome-pkg-tools Build-Depends

Package: inkscape
Version: 0.92.2-2
Severity: minor

inkscape was recently demoted to Ubuntu universe. (It appears to have
been kept in "main" a bit longer than necessary.)

Unless a package opts in or out, main packages participate in Ubuntu's
language packs and universe packages don't. I don't see a particular
reason to opt in here.

Therefore, feel free to drop the gnome-pkg-tools Build-Depends added
in inkscape 0.91-11. There's no urgency although I think we should at
least do a rebuild of inkscape in Ubuntu before 18.04 LTS is released.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
