Bug#979281: pulseaudio should reduce unnecessary Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: pulseaudio
Version: 13.0-5
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

pulseaudio is involved in a number of dependency cycles relevant to
architecture bootstrapping. Those are hard to solve, but without looking
into detail, a number of dependencies can be easily dropped:

 * check is only used for unittests. Therefore it can be skipped with
   the <!nocheck> build profile.
 * libsamplerate0-dev is deprecated in pulseaudio and only enabled when
   explicitly passing --enable-libsamplerate. The package hasn't done
   this and therefore libsamplerate is unused.
 * libjson-c-dev is unused since version 10.0 where pulseaudio adopted
   its own json parsing library. See NEWS.

This seems all quite straight forward, no? Please apply the attached
patch.

+    * Drop libsamplerate0-dev: It is deprecated and no longer enabled when

+    * Drop libjson-c-dev: Since 10.0, pulseaudio has its own json parser.
