Bug#893702: Please stop build-depending on pdftk

Hi Matthias,

We build-depend on pdftk because we actually use it to compare files,
so unfortunately simply dropping it from the Build-Depends is not a
sufficient patch.

It's in Build-Depends for the testsuite run; it's also in Recommends.
ACK the underlying issue regarding it's removal, naturally. What is
the timeline on this, out of interest?


Best wishes,
