It turns out that ‘glk-dev’ (needed to build the ‘infglk.h’ file)
itself has a non-free build dependency, ‘cheapglk’.

There is an open bug report now upstream to investigate this
<URL:https://github.com/DavidGriffith/inform6lib/issues/35>, but for
now I think that quashes the idea of building the file with free
software.

The source package now needs to omit the non-source ‘infglk.h’ file. I
will create a new source package without that file.
