It is a general issue, because there is no package anywhere in debian at
all, be it xorg or x11 or whatever, that carries this required file.

If your package needs this file, then YOU should probably file a bug against
whoever you think should take action. 
Until then, please try to avoid breaking the build config of normal
debian users. (earlier versions of libgtk2.0-dev went fine without the
x11 requirement)
