libmotif-dev should depend on libxt-dev since it's useless without
it.

Thanks for reporting this.

At the time we transitioned from lesstif2 to motif, I did look at this.
Lesstif2-dev had dependencies on libfontconfig1-dev, libfreetype6-dev, libice-dev, libsm-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxft-dev, libxp-dev, libxrender-dev and libxt-dev, which I really did not like.

I looked at several Motif applications and concluded that in order to use Motif, the application would need to make use of defines or functions from libxt-dev before even calling a Motif function and therefore the application would need to build-depend on libxt-dev anyway.
