Source: libxcb
Version: 1.12-1
Severity: wishlist

Currently, libxcb's Build-Depends on check introduces build dependency
cycles.  For example:

check Build-Depends on libsubunit-dev
subunit Build-Depends on openstack-pkg-tools
openstack-pkg-tools Depends on pristine-tar
pristine-tar Build-Depends on git
git Build-Depends on subversion
subversion Build-Depends on kdelibs5-dev
And kde4libs, of course, requires X.

As far as I can tell, if I disable the testsuite, then the package
builds fine without check installed.  So, this cycle could be broken
by updating the Build-Depends of src:libxcb to something like:

Build-Depends: libxau-dev (>= 1:1.0.5-2), libxdmcp-dev (>= 1:1.0.3-2),
xcb-proto (>= 1.12), xcb-proto (<< 2.0), libpthread-stubs0-dev (>=
0.1), debhelper (>= 9), pkg-config, xutils-dev, xsltproc (>= 1.1.19),
check (>= 0.9.4-2) <!nocheck>, python-xcbgen (>= 1.12), libtool,
automake, python, dctrl-tools
