I hope you realize that libxft2-dev is an obsolete package name. The curre=
nt
name in use is libxft-dev.

I would not expect to be able to install an obsolete old package name in
conjuction with the current version of libxft2.

Well, no, it doesn't force you to "delete all of your -dev files".
(You'll note libc6-dev wasn't removed.) It will compel the removal of
packages whose dependencies have not been updated yet.

Here's how I would use APT to find out which packages really depend on
libxft2-dev, and identify packages which need their dependencies
updated:
% apt-cache rdepends libxft2-dev
libxft2-dev
Reverse Depends:
libqt3-mt-dev
libxft-dev
libqt3-dev
libxft-dev
libxft-dev
libfltk1.1-dev
libxft-dev
It looks like there are only four packages we need to examine more closely:
1) libqt3-mt-dev
% apt-cache show libqt3-mt-dev

libqt3-mt-dev:

It appears that libqt3-mt-dev has already been fixed, though the latest pac=
kage
has not propagated to Debian testing yet.
2) libqt3-dev
libqt3-dev comes from the same source package at libqt3-mt-dev, and therefo=
re
the same analysis applies as in case 1) above.
3) libxft-dev
apt-cache rdepends says libxft-dev has a reverse dependency on libxft2-dev
because (and only because) libxft2-dev provides libxft-dev. We can therefo=
re
skip this case.
4) libfltk1.1-dev

Description: The Fast Light Toolkit (development files)
A very nice LGPL'd graphical user interface toolkit originally based on
libForms.
.

This package contains files necessary for compiling programs that depend
on FLTK.
% apt-cache policy libfltk1.1-dev
libfltk1.1-dev:
Installed: (none)

Version Table:

500 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
libfltk1.1-dev needs to have its dependencies updated, and a new version
uploaded to Debian unstable.
As for the rest of the packages apt told you it had a problem with, I used =
the
following script on the command line to check out the current state of play:
% for PKG in libbonoboui2-dev libglade2-dev libgnomecanvas2-dev \
libgnomeui-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtop2-dev libpango1.0-dev libwnck-dev \
libxft2-dev; do apt-cache show "$PKG" | grep-dctrl -F Depends \
-sPackage,Version,Depends libxft; done
Package: libpango1.0-dev
Version: 1.2.5-2.1
Depends: libpango1.0-0 (=3D 1.2.5-2.1), libglib2.0-dev (>=3D 2.2.0), libfre=
etype6-dev (>=3D 2.1.3), xlibs-dev, pkg-config, libxft-dev, libfontconfig1-=
dev (>=3D 2.1.91)
Package: libxft2-dev
Version: 2.1.1-2
Depends: libxft2 (=3D 2.1.1-2), libc6-dev | libc-dev, libfontconfig1-dev, l=
ibfreetype6-dev, xlibs-dev, zlib1g-dev | libz-dev, pkg-config
It therefore looks like libpango1.0-dev has been updated, and none of
the -dev packages apt tried to remove will actually be removed if you
stop telling apt-get to install an obsolete package.

You would probably be less frustrated if you stopped attempting to
install an obsolete package.
Closing this report.
