I do not understand this statement.

Package: libxext-dev
Section: libdevel
Architecture: any
Depends: libxext6 (= ${Source-Version}), x-dev, libc6-dev | libc-dev
Conflicts: xlibs-dev (<< 4.3.0)
Replaces: xlibs-dev (<< 4.3.0)
Description: X Window System miscellaneous extension library development files
 Header files and a static version of the Xext library are provided by this
 package.
 .
 See the libxext6 package for further information.

How is a missing dependency that isn't missing an important bug against
libxext-dev?

I would expect that liquidwar needs to:

Build-Depends: libxext-dev | xlibs-dev (<< 4.3.0)

...among any other build-dependencies it has.

Why is this a libxext-dev bug?
