Author Packages still Depending on xlibs-dev

With the recent upload of xorg-x11 version 6.9.0 to unstable removing
xlibs-dev, any package still having a Depends: xlibs-dev will become
uninstallable very soon once xlibs-dev disappears from the distribution.
Here's a list of the affected packages from main/i386 by maintainer; filing
of grave bugs to follow once this happens. (Also, everybody correct any
Build-Depends on xlibs-dev as well.)

Ryuichi Arafune <arafune@debian.org>
libmagick9-dev

Hakan Ardo <hakan@debian.org>
toolchain-source

Thomas Bushnell, BSG <tb@debian.org>
gdk-imlib11-dev
imlib11-dev
libgnome-dev

A. Maitland Bottoms <bottoms@debian.org>
libvtk4-dev

Martin Buck <mbuck@debian.org>
xviewg-dev

Guenter Geiger <geiger@debian.org>
ivtools-dev

Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>
libubit-dev

Christian Hudon <chrish@debian.org>
iconc

Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org>
liblineak-dev

Siggi Langauf <siggi@debian.org>
libxine-dev

Steve M. Robbins <smr@debian.org>
libsoqt-dev

Jeff Teunissen <deek@debian.org>
libdockapp-dev

Chris Waters <xtifr@debian.org>
itk3.0-dev
itk3.1-dev
tk8.0-dev
tk8.3-dev

Florian M. Weps <fmw@debian.org>
libooc-x11-dev

Mathias Weyland <mathias@weyland.ch>
beep-media-player-dev

(Btw, dd-list should probably have an option to suppress converting to source
packages, for situations like this where a list of binary packages is more
useful.)

If you're following this, could you please check that the wiki page is
up to date at http://wiki.debian.org/DependsXlibsDev ?

Hi Daniel!

Maybe this package should just be removed? It doesn't have any reverse
dependencies afaics, and hasn't had a non-QA upload since feb 2004.

Greetings,
Bas.
