Title:
  please drop build-dependency on g++-4.9

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The indicator-datetime package currently has a build-dependency on
  g++-4.9.  This build-dependency is present because of the
  recommendations on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/cpp-11 about handling of
  C++11.

  The C++11 ABI has now stabilized in gcc as of gcc 5; however, before
  we can switch to gcc 5, we first need to be able to do rebuild tests
  of the archive against this compiler.

  To facilitate this, please drop the build-dependency on g++-4.9 from
  the package in wily.  4.9 will remain the default until all transition
  issues have been identified, so there is no risk of accidental ABI
  breakage here anymore.
