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.

gpick Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, but I couldn't find any sign of
it actually *using* dbus-glib - presumably it used to use dbus-glib and
was later ported to GDBus? If this analysis is correct, please remove
the Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev.

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

Thanks,
