Control: tags -1 + patch

Hello,

Missing dependency is a policy violation, thus bumping to severity
to serious.
Hopefully this can be fixed very soon (so the "workaround" in iproute2,
and potentially others, can be dropped).

Please also note that libdw-dev needs similar treatment, as its .pc file
also has Required statements to zlib(.pc) and liblzma(.pc).

Please speak up if you want me to help out with a NMU (or not)!

Trivial debdiff attached for your convenience.
