Bug#979607: texlive-bin: reduce Build-Depends



Hi Helmut,

thanks for the report, indeed, indeed. I looked into the deps and you
are seemingly right:

 * libgd-dev
        used by dvipng which is separately packages, but too old there
 * libgs-dev
        dvisvgm
 * libncurses5-dev
        nobody seems to need it
 * libpotrace-dev
        dvisvgm separate
 * libwoff-dev
        dvisvgm
 * libxxhash-dev
        dvisvgm
 * sharutils
        uuen/decode for binary files in debian/ can be done differently
        (include-binaries)
 * texinfo
        no idea what this was used for
 * time
        no idea why

Most libs were used for dvisvgm which was split out some time ago.
libgd is for dvipng which is build separately (but the Debian package is
out of date compared to the TL version, so I might build it from TL).

sharutils is a left over from debian.diff.gz times where binaries
couldn't be included (the packages have 15 years with not too much
changes).

texinfo no idea, time the same

I will check with the dvipng maintainers, and upload a package with
reduced deps.

Thanks for looking into this!

Best

Norbert
