The gtk build dependencies are not used. I am uploading a LowNMU to fix this.

Bug#1041794: mrtrix3: build-depends on unmaintained GTK-2-related packages
Source: mrtrix3 Version: 3.0.3-3 Severity: normal Tags: trixie sid User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: gtk2 oldlibs Control: block 967733 by -1 Control: block 967492 by -1 Control: block 967497 by -1 mrtrix3 Build-Depends on libgtkmm-2.4-dev and libgtkglext1-dev, which in turn depend on the obsolete/unmaintained GTK 2 library. >From a quick look at the binary package dependencies and source code, it looks as though this package is a Qt application with no references to GTK at all, other than a mention of pygtk in a comment. Presumably an older version used GTK and these dependencies are leftovers? If my assessment was correct, please remove the unused build-dependencies so that we can be one step closer to removing libgtkmm-2.4-dev and libgtkglext1-dev from Debian. debian/mrtrix3.desktop also mentions GTK, and probably needs updating. Unrelated to GTK, it's not clear to me whether the libgsl-dev and libeigen3-dev dependencies are necessary, since they don't seem to be reflected in the binary package's dependencies, so this might be a good time to evaluate whether those can be removed too. Thanks, smcv
