Package: xaw3dg
Version: 1.5+E-8.1
Severity: normal

X.org, which should arrive in etch soon, provides libxaw8 as well as
libxaw7. I would like to keep the development headers for libxaw8
installed, and still build packages which depend on Xaw3d.

A quick test build on my machine verifies that, simply changing
debian/control, xaw3dg-dev can build properly on a system with X.org and
libxaw8, and depend on libxaw8-dev as another option to libxaw[67]-dev.
This allows e.g. xcolorsel to be built on current sid without
downgrading vanilla Xaw.

Since sarge is released, and X.org will be in etch, I would also propose
modernizing the rest of Xaw3d's dependencies by dropping XFree86's
xlibs-dev in favor of the modularized X.org equivalents. This may also
be an opportunity to drop the transitional 'g' suffix and standardize
with those libraries (and the rest of Debian) as libxaw3d6 or something
along those lines, but that's your call.

As I'm already running this test build, I can clean it up into a proper
NMU if desired.
