Package: gifsicle
Version: 1.44-1
Severity: serious
Hello,
This is a serious bug filed against your package because it
build-depends on x-window-system-dev which, similarly to xlibs-dev, is
about to be removed from sid. (To read about xlibs-dev's removal, see
[1]; x-window-system-dev's is similar, but had been undetected in the
first pass.)
[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00022.html
To fix this bug, you need to update your build-dependencies and
substitute x-window-system-dev for the list of individual X development
libraries that your package needs to be built. You can find detailed
information about how to do that in the DependsXlibsDev wiki page [2].

As indicated by the Release Team [3], the full transition from XFree86
to Xorg is a release blocker for Etch, which means that Etch will not
be released until this bug is fixed (or your package removed from
testing). So, please, try to fix in a timely manner.

The number of affected packages by the x-d/x-w-s-d transition is huge,
so if you feel like helping with patches or uploads, feel free to
follow the instructions contained in the wiki page above. A list of
affected packages can be found here [4].

Finally, if there's a strong reason for which your package should not
be NMUed, please note so in this bug report. Prospective NMUers will
read your reasoning, and will decide if it's strong enough to delay
their upload.
Thanks for your collaboration!
