Bug#955855: xfburn: unnecessarily Build-Depends on deprecated dbus-glib



Source: xfburn
Version: 0.6.2-1
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: dbus-glib-deprecation
Control: block 895291 by -1

dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus library with some significant design
flaws, and is essentially unmaintained. As announced in [0], I would
like to minimize its use, and eventually remove it from Debian.

This package Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, but I couldn't find any
sign of it actually *using* dbus-glib - perhaps it used to use dbus-glib
but does not any more? If this analysis is correct, please remove the
Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev.

If this package has uses of dbus-glib that I have missed, please see
[0] for how to proceed.

Thanks,
