Unfortunately all of the proposed fixed packaging will have to be revised.
The fink core developers want to go with the approach of entirely replacing
the libXt from Xquartz with their own libxt and libxt-flat BuildDependOnly
packages that install in %p. This will require all packages that link libXt
to either BuildDepends/Depends on libxt/libxt-shlibs or
libxt-flat/libxt-flat-shlibs.

ps I have serious reservations about this approach as it potentially will
make builds of packages that aren't updated properly non-deterministic in
that the libXt used for linkage could either be from libxt or libxt-flat
depending upon what happens to be installed at the time of the build. Also
requiring all of the developers to find the libXt linkages in binaries on
their on, without a reminder from 'fink validate', seems like a heavy lift.
