Bug#731441: Templates in xutils-dev cause build-depends on libxp-dev

[Graham Inggs <graham@nerve.org.za>]

Source: xutils-dev
Version: 1:7.7+1
Severity: normal

Hi Maintainer

The xprint package has been removed from Debian.    A related library is 
libxp, which provides an API that enables client programs to access and 
use an Xprint server.  Since we've gotten rid of xprint, one could argue 
it makes sense to get rid of libxp as well. Please see bug #657253 [1].

There are templates in the xutils-dev package which cause other packages 
to build-depends on libxp-dev.
For example, the template xorg-cf-files/Motif.tmpl contains the 
following lines:

#ifndef XmClientLibs
# define XmClientLibs $(XMLIB) $(XTOOLLIB) $(XPLIB) $(XLIB) $(XMEXTRA_LIBS)
#endif

...which cause '-lXp' to appear in the LDLIBS of package xtel. Please 
see bug #707623 [2].

Regards
Graham
