Once the bug (i.e. them depending on elf-x11r6lib, that's a bug) has been
fixed, they will depend on xlib6. But you can ignore dpkg's error messages
(--force-depends)

Nor is fvwm95. But fvwm2 has been compiled with the "-rpath" option,
that forces it to use the libs in /usr/X11R6/lib, which are now libc6
on your system.
To fix it, use this script, posted to debia-devel by Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org>:
=========== BEGIN SCRIPT
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Open file
open IN, "$ARGV[0]" or die "can't find $ARGV[0]: $!";
# Read it in one slurp
select IN;
undef $/;
select STDOUT;
$file=<IN>;
close IN;
# Remove this string
$count=$file=~s!/usr/X11R6/lib\0!\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0!g;
print "Replaced: $count occurences in $ARGV[0]\n";
# Write the file
open OUT, ">$ARGV[0].out" or die "can't write $ARGV[0].out: $!";
print OUT $file;
close OUT;
=========== END SCRIPT
