Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tpm-tools

Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:        8.04

Trying to install tpm-tools 1.3.1-2ubuntu1 on an Ubuntu Server
installation tries to pull in large swaths of GTK and X11 related
packages even though those tools don't have any graphical components at
all.  As far as I can see the main reason is that it wrongly contains
libgtk2.0-dev in Build-Depends. In fact the only mention of GTK in the
whole source tree is in the control and dsc files and in the changelog.

I have confirmed that removing libgtk2.0-dev from Build-Depends and
rebuilding the package results in a working package.

(P.S.: The only related package that conceivably *could* depend on gtk
would be libtspi1, which is built from the trousers source package.
However, that optional dependency is disabled through ./configure
--with-gui=none at compile time.)
