Bug#885815: fcitx-config-gtk2: Depends on libunique
Control: block 895520 by -1
Control: severity -1 serious
Quoting full-text in case the package's maintainers didn't see this
before, since it was initially assigned to a nonexistent package and
the maintainers don't seem to have been Cc'd when it was reassigned:

The severity of #895520 was escalated to serious in October 2019, so I'm
raising this bug to the same severity now.
fcitx-configtool build-depends on libunique-dev but fcitx-config-gtk2
does not have a Depends on it, which suggests that the build-dependency
might be unnecessary. If so, this bug will be easy to fix.
Thanks,
