Bug#979032: webauth has lots of unsatisfiable cross Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>]

Source: webauth
Version: 4.7.0-8
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross@lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

webauth has a lot of unsatisfiable cross Build-Depends. A lot of them
are only required for running the test suite, which does not happen
during cross builds. Since webauth is reproducible, I attempted trimming
the dependencies while retaining bit-identical output artifact and a lot
of dependencies could thus be tagged <!nocheck>. I also noticed that it
builds a perl extension. Doing so now requires a dependency on
perl-xs-dev (for cross building). I've updated that dependency as well.
Please consider applying the attached patch as an incremental step
towards cross building. Likely other packages need to be fixed before
webauth can be cross built. So just close this bug once applying
significant portions of the patch.

Helmut
