Bug#522217: debian-policy: Drop requirement to pre-depend on x11-common

[Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.1.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I don't know whether to remove just this part, or everything relating to
X11R6.  Opinions?

Cheers,
Julien

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Drop requirement to pre-depend on x11-common for /usr/{lib,include}/X11

This requirement was necessary for upgrades from sarge to etch.
