[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#1129674: tigervnc: please drop the "quilt" build-depency, this is a '3.0 (quilt)' package

Source: tigervnc
Version: 1.15.0+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

tigervnc has an extraneous/stale build-dependecy on 'quilt'.

With modern '3.0 (quilt)' packages this build-dependency
is not needed anymore: the task of applying the patches
at build-time is handled by dpkg itself.

Greetings

Alexandre
