Bug#842989: libevdev FTCBFS: build depends on host architecture python, uses build architecture pkg-config

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: libevdev
Version: 1.5.4+dfsg-1
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

libevdev fails to cross build from source, because its Build-Depends
request the host architecture python, which is neither installable nor
executable. It also fails finding check.pc, because it uses the build
architecture pkg-config for looking it up. Both issues are fixed in the
attached patch. Please consider applying it.
