Looks like MATLAB no longer depends on libxp, starting from version

Thanks for digging this out! No I wonder whether we should drop this
dependency for wheezy or afterwards. Any thoughts on this?
It comes down to an evaluation of how many matlab versions lower than
7.13 are still in current use on users' machines running Debian
unstable/testing.
Are there likely to be many 6.0/7.0 matlab users?
As far as libxp is concerned, there are still a few other packages
depending on it, and the indirect dependence via lesstif/motif could be
tricky to unravel. So I'm not aiming to remove libxp for wheezy, and
therefore there's no need to rush into removing it from matlab-support.
We could consider cleaning this up to be a release goal for wheezy+1.
