cups is involved in a number of dependency cycles relevant to
architecture bootstrap. Instead of doing the hard work of looking into
these cycles, I looked for easily droppable build dependencies and found
some. Given that cups is reproducible, I attempted dropping individual
dependencies via <!nocheck> and compared the resulting .debs with those
of a regular build. It turns out that a lot of dependencies can be thus
marked without affecting build results:
* ghostscript
* libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
* libfontconfig1-dev
* libfreetype6-dev
* libijs-dev
* libjpeg-dev
* libldap2-dev
* libpng-dev
* libtiff-dev
* poppler-utils
* sharutils
There are two possible mistakes being made here: For some dependencies,
a fallback mechanism (e.g. vendored code copy) can be available. Thus it
might be that not everything listed above should be tagged <!nocheck>.
It also could be that some of these depenencies really are entirely
unused. In that case, they should simply be dropped instead.
Beyond this, dh_apparmor is only used when cups-daemon is built. It can
be dropped for indep-only builds.
Please consider applying and improving the attached patch.
