That's fine. As long as the xaw interface works, libxaw7 is kosher (and
there is no reason why it shouldn't work).

What IS currently completely broken is the ncurses interface, and the
breakage is getting worse by the day, so I really, really don't understand
what is happening (but had not time to hunt it down yet).  Maybe a rebuild
will fix it (i.e. the NMU will fix it as a side effect).  If it does, I am
so filling a bug against libncurses... :P
