For the record, these don't; there may be other false positives too.

Anyway, it looks like libGLw's object files are independent of each
other, so code that pulls in GLwDrawA.h rather than GLwMDrawA.h should
be able to link against libGLw without needing any Motif or Lesstif
libraries, though it will still generally need Xt (unless it limits
itself to a couple of lower-level utility functions, which is pretty
unlikely).  As such, I'd say that whatever package contains libGLw
should merely Suggest lesstif2-dev | lesstif-dev, though it ought to
Recommend, if not Depend on, libxt-dev.
