waybar build-depends on libdbusmenu-gtk-dev, which in turn
depends on GTK 2. GTK 2 was superseded by GTK 3 in 2011 (see
<https://bugs.debian.org/947713>). It has been discontinued by its
upstream developer and no longer receives any upstream maintenance.

The built binary package doesn't depend on GTK 2, which makes me think
that this build-dependency is probably unnecessary. If so, please
remove it, bringing us one step closer to being able to clean up this
technical debt.

The GTK 3 equivalent of libdbusmenu-gtk-dev is libdbusmenu-gtk3-dev.
It's OK to continue to build-depend on that.

Thanks,
