libgtk2.0-dev should depend on libxml2-utils because of gtk-builder-convert

Bug Description

gtk-builder-convert produces garbage if libxml2-utils is not installed, such as is the case in a pbuilder environment. This was very difficult to debug since there was no actual error message, I was only able to track this down via strace. Please consider a SRU, if someone else encounters this issue, it will probably cost them a considerable amount of time.

---------------
gtk+2.0 (2.14.1-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * debian/control.in:
    - libgtk2.0-dev recommends libxml2-utils which gtk-builder-convert is using
      (lp: #241757)
  * debian/rules:
    - updated shlibs version

Just to clarify, does 'recommends' mean that libxml2-utils will be installed in a pbuilder environment if the package build-depends on libgtk2.0-dev?

No, recommends are not installed on buildds by default nor in pbuilder; when I saw the recommends addition in Ubuntu yesterday, I added a Depends in the Debian GNOME SVN, so the next time Ubuntu rebases on these packages, it will be a Depends.

gtk+2.0 (2.12.11-4) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * Let libgtk2.0-dev recommend debhelper for dh_gtkmodules.
  * Let libgtk2.0-dev depend on libxml2-utils as it's required for
    gtk-builder-convert to work and might be relied upon by packages bdeping
    on libgtk2.0-dev.
