Slink is frozen and quite stable. I recommend you upgrade your box
before uploading. Or buy another disk and install an alternate slink
installation, or another box! You might be able to get away with just
upgrading dpkg, libc6, and xlib6g (and -dev for all these) packages.
Or, if you're really lazy, just have someone with an up-to-date slink
system test it pretty hard for you.
You depend on XForms. Two points: xforms 0.88 is out. Also, you
cannot put this package in 'main' since it depends on XForms, which is
non-free. The best you can hope for is contrib. See Debian Policy
for details.
