For packages like redshift that do not require binary packages built by
libappindicator at build-time but only at runtime (mostly Python code using
gir1.2-appindicator* via pygobject), there are no Build-Depends, but
the Depends do matter.
`dak rm` is the tool that the ftp team would use if they removed
lib(app)indicator from unstable, so if you want lib(app)indicator to be
removed, all the packages that `dak rm` is concerned about will need to be
either removed or fixed.

I've done that for you.

I haven't done that. I think the severity of these bugs is a decision
for the maintainer of the replacement to make.
