Usertags: dbus-glib-deprecation

dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus library with some significant design 
flaws, and is essentially unmaintained. I would like to minimize its 
use, and eventually remove it from Debian, ideally before forky.

inkscape Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, but was missed in my 
mass-bug-filing about dbus-glib's deprecation, possibly because the B-D 
wasn't added until 2017, long after dbus-glib was already dead upstream:

inkscape (0.92.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium
...
  * d/control:
    + ...
    + Build-dep on libdbus-1-dev and libdbus-glib-1-dev for dbus support.

There is no runtime dependency on dbus-glib (or on libdbus for that 
matter), so these two B-D are probably unnecessary and could probably 
just be dropped. I'll try to confirm whether this is true later today.

Thanks,
    smcv
