Version: 2.2.4-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I notice you depend on xlibs-dev, which is now a pseudo-package depending
in turn upon all of the new fine-grained X development packages.  The
attached patch to debian/control.in should reduce the number of
unnecessary X development packages depended upon by your package.

Note that the new dependencies are in the form "libfoo-dev | xlibs-dev" 
for woody backwards compatibility.  If you value simplicity over backwards 
compatibility, feel free to remove all instances of "| xlibs-dev".

Please see my message to debian-devel for more details:

best regards,
