Bug#969068: libxinerama-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-xinerama-dev
Package: libxinerama-dev
Version: 2:1.1.4-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: witold.baryluk@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
libxinerama-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-xinerama-dev.
Please depend on x11proto-dev (with "> 2018.3" version condition if
needed) instead.
Similar applies to some other packages, like:
libxxf86vm-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev,
but should depend now on x11proto-dev instead.
libxss-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-scrnsaver-dev,
but should depend now on x11proto-dev instead.
libxtst-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-record-dev,
but should depend now on x11proto-dev instead.
libxi-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-input-dev,
but should depend now on x11proto-dev instead.
libxrandr-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-randr-dev,
but should depend now on x11proto-dev instead.
libxext-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-fixes-dev,
but should depend now on x11proto-dev instead.
libxv-dev depends on transitional package x11proto-video-dev,
but should depend now on x11proto-dev instead.
As far as I know, these are the only packages in Debian testing that
depend on these transitional packages.
This is related to similar report over year ago:

Thanks,
Witold
