Hi, as a maintainer of flex-old package I'm considering requesting
removing it as obsolete and unmaintained version of flex.  xaw3dg
Build-Depends on flex-old as alternative to current flex. Please build
the package only against current flex by removing references to
flex-old package such as changed in the following patch.

The build dependency does not need to be versioned anymore as flex has
been newer than that already for some Debian releases.
