Update vala-dep-scanner for vala-0.28 or remove from archive

[Jeremy Bícha]

vala 0.20 is now the default vala in Debian testing and Ubuntu Saucy.

We'd like to eventually drop vala 0.16 from the archives so it's important that vala-dep-scanner be updated to work with the current default vala.

lp:~robert-ancell/vala-dep-scanner/vala-0.28 has the fairly trivial changes to update to using Vala 0.28 BUT:
- lp:vala-dep-scanner seems to be missing changes that are in the Debian package (commit not pushed?)
- If I make this into a Debian patch and run autogen there are missing files from the tarball (e.g. src/config.vapi)
- The package has both AM_GNU_GETTEXT and IT_PROG_INTLTOOL which conflict with eachother
- This package does not seem to have been updated in a long time
- Nothing depends on it

If this is a dead package can we remove it from the archive? Or can you make a 3.1 release, Michael?

That happened fast :)

vala-dep-scanner *might* be useful in some future snappy / snapcraft situation. But no matter for now.
