Hi,
I wanted to file a wishlist bug to remove the X11R6 compatibility
link, and I see this bug which essentially wishes the opposite.
Would it be better to make a separate x11-compat package for
these kind of compatibility hacks? Then you could even put
more links in it (like the locale links in this bug report)
and perhaps other stuff which is needed for old and/or proprietary
X programs.
Regards,
Bastian
