Hi, I recall that it was announced that libxaw8 should be dropped, but I can only find discussions on the X list and http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/01/msg00409.html.
Packages are starting to FTBFS because libxaw8 has not yet been adapted to the new Xorg directories (http://bugs.debian.org/365597), and there are two possible ways to fix this: Either fix libxaw8-dev, or alternatively prevent libxaw8-dev from being used. My question is now whether to switch away from libxaw8 is a wishlist issue or in fact a fixed plan? What's the appropriate severity for "drop libxaw8" bugs, and what should maintainers do?
