screenkast has now been updated to use libxaw7. No packages remain in
the Debian archive which use libxaw6.
Do we have consensus to remove libxaw6 completely, or would anyone
prefer to leave it in in case any 3rd-party packages need it?
In my opinion it should be safe to remove libxaw6 because
a) any such 3rd-party packages should really be rebuilt against libxaw7 anyway,
b) libxaw6 can still be grabbed from etch if really needed.
