Of the 40 "patched" bugs, nearly all are patched by me.

Unfortunately my first round didn't use the script (though I was aware
of it), and so many packages say "(no replacement needed)", even
though they have a direct build-dep on some package which used to be
depended on by xlibs-dev.  So I'm going back through the bugs and
adding the dependencies from the xlibs-split-check script and
including interdiffs.

The following bugs had no needed build-dep replacement (according to
the checker script) and have nmu diffs attached:

  346622 346626 346646 346773 346827 346624 346634 346760 346795 347096

Note that some of the maintainers have already responded, so you
should take a quick look at the bug log before building.

Junichi (dancer) had a good idea to debdiff the resulting .deb, which
is something I didn't do (but would in the future).
