You're correct. I apologize for the oversight.

Your desire to find and fix memory leaks is very much appreciated, but
I'd advise you to check XFree86 CVS before undertaking this project, in
the event that someone else has already plugged the leaks.

Yes. How does this look?
* debian/control:
[...]
- Discuss Xlib's loadable modules for i18n in the extended package
descriptions of xlibs and xlibs-dbg. In xlibs-dbg's extended
description, give tips on how to debug the i18n modules.
* debian/xlibs-dbg.debugfiles: ship unstripped versions of Xlib's i18n
modules in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale/common.
Package: xlibs
[...]
libX11 (a.k.a. Xlib) provides the low-level functionality, dealing mostly
with the wire protocol and in terms of basic operations such as opening and
closing the X protocol connection, creating graphics contexts, drawing
graphics primitives such as lines, arcs, and glyphs, handling events, and so
forth. A set of dynamically-loadable internationalization modules is also
part of Xlib, though not in the libX11 shared object itself.
Package: xlibs-dbg
[...]
Unstripped versions of Xlib's internationalization loadable modules are
provided in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale/common. Note that if you wish
to debug these modules, you will need to set XLOCALEDIR to
/usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale. Also note that for security reasons,
unprivileged users are unable to override XLOCALEDIR in this way, so you
may have to perform your debugging of the Xlib modules as root.
As long as everything tests all right, this fix will be in the next
release.
