debcheck doesn't grok :any for the time being.

But for this particular package, the :any qualifier is useless, so just 
get rid of it.

libprotobuf-lite9 is no longer built from source, so it should have been 
removed semi-automatically by ftp-masters (and then debcheck woudn't 
have a reason to complain). Dunno why it didn't happen...
