#1112419 libkkc: Build-Depends on unmaintained gnome-common

This source package Build-Depends on gnome-common, a collection of
autoconf macros formerly used by GNOME, which was deprecated 10 years
ago.

gnome-common is now unmaintained upstream and has been moved to a
read-only archive, meaning that issue reports and merge requests will
not be accepted, even if a serious problem is found.

Please remove this dependency. One popular way to do this is to convert
the upstream build system from Autotools to Meson (or CMake) which will
often make it more maintainable and understandable. Meson is now GNOME's
preferred build system.

If the upstream developer prefers to stay with Autotools, please replace
gnome-common Autoconf macros with autoconf-archive Autoconf macros, and
replace gnome-autogen.sh with a local copy. For more details see GNOME's
porting guide:

* https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects(2f)GnomeCommon(2f)Migration.html

wiki.gnome.org is also being phased out. If it disappears, use this
archived copy of the porting guide:

Thanks,

Changes:
 libkkc (0.3.5-14) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Team upload.
   * debian/patches/:
     + 0008-build-Pass-C-runtime-libs-to-g-ir-scanner-via-extra-library.patch:
       Pass the C++ runtime libraries from libtool's postdeps_CXX to
       g-ir-scanner via --extra-library instead of as -l flags. GCC 16 adds
       the -latomic_asneeded linker script to postdeps, which g-ir-scanner
       cannot resolve to a shared library, breaking the Marisa.gir build.
       (Closes: #1146691)
   * debian/control:
     + Bump Standards-Version to 4.7.4.
     + Drop Priority field, which is now optional by default.
     + Drop obsolete gnome-common build-dependency. It was only needed
       because autogen.sh sources gnome-autogen.sh, which in turn merely
       runs intltoolize and autoreconf; configure.ac uses no GNOME_* macros.
       (Closes: #1112419)
   * debian/rules: Stop invoking ./autogen.sh from override_dh_autoreconf
     and let dh_autoreconf run plain "autoreconf -f -i", which already
     handles intltoolize. Drop the redundant "--with autoreconf" as it is
     the default since debhelper compat 10.
