That would make some sense, but there seems like an awful lot of stuff
still to move out if it's only a transition package:
steve@gashuffer:~$ dpkg -L xlibs | wc -l
357
steve@gashuffer:~$ dpkg -l xlibs
ii  xlibs     6.9.0.dfsg.1-1   X Window System client libraries metapackage and XKB data

Take care,
