Can you elaborate, please? No version of the Motif API is required to build the xfree86 packages, so this dependency must be pretty weak. Is it the case that anyone programming against libGLw would also be #including <X11/Xm.h> or so? That's my guess for a quick look at xc/lib/GLw, but GL is really not my area of expertise. (If my guess is right, either Recommends or Suggests is warranted, as people may install xlibmesa-gl-dev without actually planning or needing to do Motif/LessTif development.) -- G.
