#1146160 transmission-remote-gtk: unnecessary Build-Depends on libappstream-glib-dev

#1146160#5

transmission-remote-gtk Build-Depends on libappstream-glib-dev, but does
not link to the appstream-glib library, and the build-dependency appears
to be unused. This is one of only two remaining packages preventing the
removal of appstream-glib (the other is shotwell).

Please consider the attached patch. I have confirmed using diffoscope
that when I rebuild this package with and without this patch, the results
are identical. I didn't test the resulting binaries beyond that (I don't
use this package myself).

Thanks,
