Current packages with explicit libxp-dev build-dependencies 
(source package, current version, bug filed):
	iceape             2.0.14-9        #623660
	rox                2.10-3          #623661
	nedit        1:5.6~cvs20081118-7   #623662
	xpat2              1.07-17         #623663
	kinput2            3.1-10.2        #623664
	viewmol            2.4.1-17        #623665
	openjdk-6          6b24~pre4-1     #623667
	openjdk-7          7~b147-2.0-1    #657260
	ecore              1.0.0-2.1       #623646
	alliance           5.0-20110203-4  #657257
	lesstif2           1:0.95.2-1      #623643       
(lesstif2 is a tricky one to handle, it pulls the libxp6 dependency into
other packages which don't otherwise need it)

non-free:
	openmotif          2.3.3-5         #623645       
	(hence dependencies in libmotif4, libmotif-dev, motif-clients)

(note: build-rdeps says that arb has a build-dependency on libxp-dev,
but it is not the case.  arb 5.3-2 has no libxp dependency)


The following packages have no explicit build-depends, the libxp6
dependencies in them are probably pulled in via lesstif2 (lesstif2-dev)
	gridengine-qmon    6.2u5-4         #623642
	dx                 1:4.4.4-4       #623644
	mtink              1.0.16-3        #623650


The following package has an explicit binary dependency on libxp6:
	matlab-support     0.0.17          #623649
This one in particular will be hard to unravel, since this package
provides support for the proprietary software matlab, which is linked to
libxp6. We can't fix that unless we can convince MathWorks themself to
stop using libXp in matlab.
