Hi,

Thanks for maintaining poppler in Debian!

As part of my work on the "Bootstrappable Debian" Google Summer of Code
project I came across it; I'll file two more bugs to conditionally drop
build dependencies to avoid circular build dependency loops.

In the meantime, what do you think about the following patch that drops
the completely unused build dependency on libgtk2.0-dev?  I have
compared both the build logs and the generated binary packages and there
is indeed no difference at all (well, modulo the usual build IDs and
timestamps in the libraries and binaries).  As an added bonus, it will
break one more circular build dependency except the QT 4 and 5 ones that
I'll file the abovementioned separate bugs for.

The patch is against the 0.26 branch, but it could be applied to
the master, too.

Once again, thanks for your work on poppler and Debian in general!

G'luck,
Peter
