[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#663744: bluez: Drop obsolete python-gobject dependency

Package: bluez
Version: 4.98-2

bluez currently depends on python-gobject, which is a transitional
package. Packages should be migrated from the obsolete static bindings
("gobject", "glib", "gtk") to the gobject-introspection bindings
("from gi.repository import GObject"), and update their dependencies
to "python-gi" (or -dev for build deps).

However, it seems that bluez only uses the "gobject" import in the
scripts in tests/, which are not shipped. So as far as I can see, the
dependency should just be dropped. If you want to run the tests at
build time, I suggest adding a python-gobject-2 build dependency.

Thanks,

Martin
