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)...
