I see that now too. So actually you did mention it, and I overlooked it.

Maybe this is enough for some sponsors. I'm not sure.

I would mention this in debian/changelog :
* debian/control: No longer Build-Depends: poppler-utils, asciidoc, lynx.
But I don't know how detailed such information must be for debian-policy.
Sometimes it is useful to also mention the reasons. I'm adding debian-mentors
in cc so that other sponsors can comment if they want to.
