It's certainly your right to not care about Ubuntu changes; nevertheless,
this is a bug in your package that should be fixed, and Ubuntu just happens
to have fixed it first.

The package currently builds correctly in Debian because the Debian
libx11-dev package *happens* to depend on libxext-dev, satisfying bbkeys'
hidden build dependency; but the libx11-dev in experimental, like the
libx11-dev in Ubuntu, no longer depends on libxext-dev:

 Package: libx11-dev
 Version: 2:1.1.3-1
 Depends: libx11-6 (= 2:1.1.3-1), libxau-dev (>= 1:1.0.0-1), libxdmcp-dev  (>= 
1:1.0.0-1), x11proto-core-dev (>= 6.8.99.8-1), x11proto-input-dev, 
x11proto-kb-dev, xtrans-dev, libxcb-xlib0-dev

So this is a bug in bbkeys (the configure script aborts if it can't find
libXext but does not build-depend on libxext-dev), and will become a serious
bug once the libx11-dev in experimental reaches unstable.  Please consider
fixing this before then.

Cheers,
