I think the confusion is this:  

mtools 3.9.1-2
$ dpkg -L mtools | xargs ldd 2>/dev/null| grep = | sort | uniq -c
     24         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
     24         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001a000)
$ 

mtools 3.9.6-1
$ dpkg -L mtools | xargs ldd 2>/dev/null| grep = | sort | uniq -c
     27         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
      1         libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40024000)
      1         libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4001a000)
      1         libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4003a000)
     27         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40031000)
     27         libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4001a000)
$ 

floppyd was recently added to mtools, and it's X-centric.

I suspect xlib6g should be a recommendation rather than a dependency.
