Here's what I found out: The dependency on transfig-native was added by commit 2fbcf1419909cf2840d56bf461ab04f8298f14c6, on the grounds that fig2dev is needed to build the prelink documentation. Which seems reasonable enough on the face of it, except that (a) we probably don't want to build documentation (or depend on transfig-native) for the -native package; and (b) the documentation build had already been disabled, for both native and non-native prelink, three days previously by commit 66e6a9798e5462a6cd8dce22a400b81f1dcae88b. So, right now, it seems that the dependency on transfig-native is entirely redundant and I think commit 66e6a9798e5462a6cd8dce22a400b81f1dcae88b can/should be reverted. In the longer term it seems like switching the documentation back on for the non-native prelink would be a good thing to do. p.
