fig2dev participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Rather than looking into such a difficult problem, I looked
into easily droppable dependencies. It turns out that fig2dev formerly
used xmkmf, but no longer does. As such, the xutils-dev dependency can
be dropped. The netpbm and texlive-latex-extra dependencies are used for
testing fig2dev, but not otherwise. Thus they can be annotated
<!nocheck>. Please consider applying the attached patch.
