There were no CHANGES made to libXaw7 from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5. Nor to libXt. Nor to libX11. Nor to any other library. 634 branden@sisyphus:~/packages/xfree86/tmp$ head -n 1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4/xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/debian/changelog xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) unstable; urgency=medium 635 branden@sisyphus:~/packages/xfree86/tmp$ head -n 1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5/xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/debian/changelog xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-5) unstable; urgency=low 636 branden@sisyphus:~/packages/xfree86/tmp$ diff -urN 4.3.0.dfsg.1-[45]/xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/build-tree/xc/lib/Xaw 637 branden@sisyphus:~/packages/xfree86/tmp$ diff -urN 4.3.0.dfsg.1-[45]/xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/build-tree/xc/lib/Xt 638 branden@sisyphus:~/packages/xfree86/tmp$ diff -urN 4.3.0.dfsg.1-[45]/xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/build-tree/xc/lib/X11 639 branden@sisyphus:~/packages/xfree86/tmp$ diff -urN 4.3.0.dfsg.1-[45]/xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/build-tree/xc/lib 640 branden@sisyphus:~/packages/xfree86/tmp$ I'm starting to get tired of this "downgrading package $FOO fixed it, therefore the bug must be in package $FOO" logic. It's clearly not well-correlated with reality. (Not ranting at you, Thomas, just the cruelty of life.)
