Your resulting deb is:
$ dpkg -I dsniff_2.4b1+debian-21_amd64.deb|grep libx11
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), libdb5.1, libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libnet1 (>=
1.1.2.1), libnids1.21, libpcap0.8 (>= 0.9.8), libsm6, libssl1.0.0 (>=
1.0.0), libx11-6, libxmu6, openssl
               (requires libx11-6 installed).
$ 

obviously setting Depends, not Recommends. Thus your README.Debian is
kinda bogusly telling the user to install something she already has
installed.
