I changed the dependencies in rdesktop 1.5 in this way:

- download rdesktop_1.5.0-1_i386.deb from a debian mirror
  (now is also available in ubuntu feisty)
- do the following on a terminal window:
  dpkg -x rdesktop_1.5.0-1_i386.deb rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386
  dpkg -e rdesktop_1.5.0-1_i386.deb rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386/DEBIAN
- then edit rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386/DEBIAN/control and change these
  lines:

  Version: 1.5.0-1
  to
  Version: 1.5.0-1a

  Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1), libx11-6
  to
  Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8), libx11-6

- rebuild the package with:
  dpkg -b rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386
- and finally install it with:
  sudo dpkg -i rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386.deb

This is not a usual or recommended method of rebuilding packages
(changing dependencies may be dangerous), but it's the faster one and
worked for me in this particular case...
