Hi Rob and Raymond. I had another look at the build-depends and tried to
tighten them up a bit. workrave builds in pbuilder (set up for sid) with no more
than the following build-depends:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 4.1.29), libgnet-dev (>> 1.1.7),
libgnomeuimm1.3-dev, libpanel-applet2-dev (>> 2.0.11)

All the others can be stripped off since libgnomeuimm1.3-dev drags them in
automatically. 

I wonder why the build-depends on autotools-dev, automake1.7 and autoconf are
there - these programs are not used anywhere in debian/rules. I understand that
one must run ./autogen.sh before building CVS sources and that it requires
autconf & friends. But for the released source tarball this is probably not the
case.

Thanks,

Johannes
