Dear Maintainer,

Please, consider the attached patch which

1. Drops erlang-src from the build dependencies. erlang-src usually is
not necessary to build any package. And certainly it is not necessary
for rabbitmq-server.

2. Replaces the fixed list of dependencies on erlang-* by an
automatically generated with erlang-depends one. The advantage of this
approach is changing dependencies if some other module (from the
original Erlang/OTP distribution) is introduced. Also, the dependencies
become versioned, e.g. currently in unstable they would become

Depends: adduser, erlang-base (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-crypto (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-eldap (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-eunit (>=
1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-inets (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-mnesia (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-os-mon (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-public-key
 (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-runtime-tools (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-ssl (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-syntax-tools (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), e
rlang-tools (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), erlang-xmerl (>= 1:29.0.2+dfsg), openssl, rabbitmqadmin-ng, socat

This prevents trying to run rabbitmq-server with Erlang currently in
testing, which fails horribly (see [1]).
