Hi,
I think xlibs should have versioned dependancy to individual library
packages, because in current situation command "apt-get install xlibs"
doesn't upgrade real x libraries - it only upgrades an xlibs metapackage
and leaves outdated real x libraries (for example libx11-6, libxext6 and
libxft1), so this misleads lots of users.

That's right. You didn't ask apt to upgrade anything -- you asked it to
install something.

xlibs is not solely a metapackage. (It would be if one could cleanly move
conffiles between packages in Debian, but dpkg won't cooperate.)
$ dpkg -s xlibs

If you want to upgrade packages, use "apt-get upgrade".
Closing spurious report.
