Package: libpango1.0-dev
Version: 1.2.5-2.1
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 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:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/debian-devel-200404/msg00067.html

best regards,
