Xfe uses the library libfox-1.6-0 which have the dependency to libcups2. An older version of xfe had a problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520439 But you are right, it seems it is not necessary because of the dependency of libfox-1.6-0 to libcups2. I must test it without the hardcoded dependency on libcups2. Xfe 1.32 comes with the new feature 'startup-notification'. I have always assumed the developer uses the system (shared) library. Now I have checked src/startupnotification.h and I have seen he uses the embedded code of libstartup-notification. Because of some code differences between both versions it is unclear whether xfe would work with the shared library. Therefore I need some discussion with the developer about this item. I think for this version of xfe it is better to remove the suggestion for libstartup-notification0 and let it use the embedded code. Have a nice day, Joachim (Germany)
