     + Build-depend on libgnutls28-dev instead of libgnutls-dev. The latter is
       removed. We don't actually need to build-depend on it anymore but because
       of a missing dependency in librtmp-dev we still need it (Closes: #764100).
+  * debian/build-deps.in:
+    + Remove unused libdirac-dev build dependency (Closes: #761012).
