Bug#1067455: libgphoto2: please reduce build-dependencies by moving things to Build-Depends-Indep <!nodoc>

Source: libgphoto2
Version: 2.5.31-2.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I noticed that libgphoto2 was blocking some of the rebuilds that are needed
for the 64-bit time_t transition, and was itself not buildable because it
was waiting for graphviz. This has now been resolved, but if libgphoto2 had
fewer build-dependencies, then it could have been built sooner.

Please consider applying the attached patches, also available as
<https://salsa.debian.org/debian-phototools-team/libgphoto2/-/merge_requests/7>.

I have confirmed (using diffoscope) that building with -Pnodoc,nocheck
skips installation of various build-dependencies, and skips production
of the -dev-doc package, but does not otherwise affect the package's
contents.

Thanks,
