webkit2gtk has a lot of dependencies and is involved in a number of dependency cycles relevant to bootstrapping. Please reduce Build-Depends. Given that webkit2gtk builds reproducibly, one can attempt dropping individual dependencies and see whether it still reproduces the original artifact. Instead of merely dropping, I opted into Build-Conflicts for testing. The following dependencies happen to not influence the resulting .debs when dropped: * gawk * libfile-copy-recursive-perl * libgeoclue-2-dev * libupower-glib-dev * geoclue-2.0 * mesa-common-dev * libgles2-mesa-dev Given that webkit2gtk entirely skips dh_auto_test, I suspect that they can all be dropped with no replacement. Do you agree? Helmut
