Several xfce4 package fail with missing libs. From a casual
investigation I gathered that one of the -dev packages should Depend
on others to be of any use. Martin thought that each source should
Build-Depend on the missing -dev package themself. A detailed look at
the packages and the config.log files could reveal whats more
right[tm].
Iirc he would accept patches / NMUs with the 'missing' Build-Depends
added to each failed source package. The other way would need some
convinving argument.
Have a look at the buildd logs for the various xfce4 packages and the
bug list for more details.
