Package: libxv-dev
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: normal

After building a package that uses X development files, it is impossible to 
automatically orphan them all, because
many of them have recursive interdependencies. In a system where the following 
development files are left (following
a recursive removal of everything found by 'deborphan --libdevel --guess-all' 
as used in package upgrade-system)...

ii  autotools-dev       20041130.2          Update infrastructure for 
config.{guess,sub} files
ii  dpkg-dev            1.10.27             Package building tools for Debian
ii  libc6-dev           2.3.2.ds1-20        GNU C Library: Development 
Libraries and Header Files
ii  libfreetype6-dev    2.1.7-2.3           FreeType 2 font engine, development 
files
ii  libncurses5-dev     5.4-4               Developer's libraries and docs for 
ncurses
ii  libstdc++5-3.3-dev  3.3.5-8             The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 
(development files)
ii  libx11-dev          4.3.0.dfsg.1-10     X Window System protocol client 
library development fi
ii  libxext-dev         4.3.0.dfsg.1-10     X Window System miscellaneous 
extension library develo
ii  libxi-dev           4.3.0.dfsg.1-10     X Window System Input extension 
library development fi
ii  libxv-dev           4.3.0.dfsg.1-10     X Window System video extension 
library development fi
ii  x-dev               4.3.0.dfsg.1-10     X protocol development files
ii  xlibs-static-dev    4.3.0.dfsg.1-10     X Window System client library 
development files
ii  zlib1g-dev          1.2.2-3             compression library - development

...the remaining six X development file could not be automatically removed. 
Attempting to remove by hand shows the
following interdependencies:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/q-funk>$ sudo dpkg -P x-dev
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of x-dev:

It would be highly appreciated if those 6 files' dependencies would be fixed so 
as to allow recursive removal using 
normal Debian orphaning tools.

Thanks!
