Hi,

Indeed, my analysis and tests confirm this. Good catch, thanks!

I've tracked down the root cause of us having these dependencies in
Debian and reported https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793979.

I've removed these dependencies in Vcs-Git.

Can this wait for the next upload (which could be anytime between now
and in 6 months) or do you have a specific reason to want to see this
fixed in the archive sooner?

Cheers,
