I do not intend to make the xlib6 package provide 'xlib'. The bug in
this case is with the xanim package; see the policy guide.

Usual reminder: X client packages linked with libraries in xlib-3.1.2
should depend on elf-x11r6lib. X client packages linked with libraries
in xlib6-3.2 should depend on xlib6.
