Apparently there is no problem:

charles@sorbet:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 11 2006-01-09 08:51 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so ->
libX11.so.6
charles@sorbet:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/lib
Display all 107 possibilities? (y or n)
charles@sorbet:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 13 2006-01-09 08:51 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
-> libX11.so.6.2
charles@sorbet:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2

It is already there...

charles@sorbet:~$ dpkg -l libxpm-dev

Well, I have no time to look for clues by myself this evening, but if
you give one to me, I can try it before going to bed (it is almost 10pm
in Japan...)

I managed to fakeroot make-kpkg a kernel, so there is nothing
obviously wrong in my build environnement... I will try to apt-get
source --build a few random packages tomorrow in order to check if it
works robustly.

Best,
