It appears that sysprof does not need Build-Depends: binutils-dev so I am removing that. I don't understand why bootstrapping can't use pkg.sysprof.nogui,pkg-sysprof.nounwind instead of pkg.glib2.0.nosysprof libsysprof-capture-4-dev is now built on all Linux architectures and I believe its build dependencies are minimal when built with both those 2 build profiles. sysprof's other binary packages are only currently needed for mutter & gnome-builder. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
