Hi!

The changelog entry for icmake 10.03.02-1 reads:

  * New upstream version 10.03.02 adds bobcatbootstrap to build icmake
    on systems that haven't installed the bobcat library

However, looking at debian/control, the build dependency on libbobcat-dev is
actually unconditional and there is currently no way to build the icmake
Debian package without having libbobcat-dev installed. This is in particular
problematic because src:bobcat build-depends on icmake to build.

A build profile which allows to disable the libbobcat-dev build dependency
temporarily and use the aforementioned bootstrap mechanism would be very
helpful for bootstrapping icmake on new architectures such as loong64.

Thanks,
Adrian
