libtheora participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked
into easily droppable dependencies and noticed that a build with
devscripts and texlive-fonts-recommended moved to Build-Conflicts
results in the exact same binary artifacts as a regular build. I think
that texlive-fonts-recommended was never needed and that devscripts was
added for licensecheck when libtheora was using cdbs. Meanwhile, it no
longer uses cdbs and devscripts no longer contains licensecheck. Please
consider applying the attached patch to drop both.
