My understanding is otherwise:
http://lintian.debian.org/reports/Tpackages-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6.html
| packages-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6
| Packages using the X Window System should not be configured to install
| files under the /usr/X11R6/ directory unless they use imake. The /usr/X11R6/
| directory hierarchy should be regarded as deprecated for all packages except
| the X Window System itself.
| Programs that use GNU autoconf and automake are usually easily configured
| at compile time to use /usr/ instead of /usr/X11R6/, and this should be done
| whenever possible.
| Refer to Policy Manual, section 11.8.7 for details.
Could you test and see if it works if you use /usr/ instead?
I'm no X11 expert, but I tend to believe that lintian/policy know what
they're doing.
