Yes, perhaps an even better idea would be to replace /X11R6 with a
symlink to ".". I this time, I took the safe route replacing only
/X11R6/lib with a symlink to ../lib.
Is there a way that I could create a separate (chroot) environment on my
hurd box to test these somewhat radical changes without having to boot
between them? Like debootstrap in Debian/Linux?

Thanks, that would be nice. As I understand the current scheme of
things, dpkg-shlibdeps is confused when ldd finds stuff in /lib that
dpkg says should be in /usr/lib?

Except for the standard /usr/lib/X11 -> ../X11R6/lib symlink (which I
deleted - hope that's not horrible), there didn't seem to be any file
conflicts. Indeed, if any libraries in /lib, /usr/lib, or /usr/X11R6/lib
should have the same filename, wouldn't this be bad also if the
directories are separate?
For some happy news, xterm now works. (and completely unrelated, bug
#78372 is closed in shellutils 2.0.11-7).
