Bug#980529: libmarpa-r2-perl: reduce Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libmarpa-r2-perl
Version: 2.086000~dfsg-6
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

libmarpa-r2-perl cannot be cross built from source, because its
Build-Depends are not satisfiable. Rather than look into this difficult
problem, I looked into easily droppable dependencies using reproducible
builds.

 * devscripts is unused. No binary of it is mentioned anywhere. But a
   build complains about missing licensecheck. Did you miss the
   devscripts -> licensecheck split?
 * The versioned perl dependencies are satisfied in old-old-stable. They
   can simply be dropped.
 * Since libmarpa-r2-perl is a perl extension, it should build depend on
   the cross-friendly perl-xs-dev rather than perl.
 * libppi-perl is used in unit tests only. Annotate <!nocheck>.

Please consider applying the attached patch.

Helmut
