Bug description:
Copy-and-pasted almost verbatim from Debian bug #657253:
The xprint package is obsolete and and has been removed. 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.
A number of packages depend on libxp. This situation sometimes arises
historically from the time before xprint was considered obsolete, with
Build-depends: libxp-dev being set in the past and then forgotten and untouched.
This bug has been filed to put the question of whether or not to keep
libxp on the record, and to help keep track of the dependent packages
(and the bugs filed against them).
In Ubuntu, libxp6 is seeded in desktop for compatibility with third
party applications that expect libxp6 to be available, see bug #21953.
In package matlab-support, libxp6 is a dependency as it was required
by MATLAB, however this has not been the case since MATLAB R2011b.
