Benjamin Berg cdd79a0935 ci: Remove libfprint dependencies that are not needed
The dependency list of libfprint used to be a direct copy of the
libfprint CI list. However, many of the dependencies are not needed as
only a minimal version of libfprint is built for testing purposes.

fprintd
=======

https://fprint.freedesktop.org/

Daemon to offer libfprint functionality over D-Bus
Might eat your kangaroo.

Written in C.

Licensed under the GPL version 2 or any later version (see COPYING).

A PAM login module is included in the 'pam' directory.

API use cases
=============

- User wants to use the fingerprint reader, and enroll
  his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database

- Administrator wants to enroll fingerprints for a particular user,
  or remove fingerprints for a particular user

- Laptop/desktop authentication:
  * Check for fingerprint devices
  * Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled
  * Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device
  supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against
  any of the fingerprints enrolled

- Point Of Sale authentication (in a bar, the fingerprint reader is
  used to see who accesses a particular point of sale/till, in place
  of PIN code authentication and/or tokens)
  * Given a list of users, verify which one has scanned their finger
