The best way to find out which packages contain the files you need is to
use the "Search the Contents of the Latest Release" search engine at
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages.html. In this case for the stable
release it returns:
FILE PACKAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 x11/xlib6g
usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.3 x11/xlib6g
usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 oldlibs/xlib6
usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6.3 oldlibs/xlib6
