It's a tough one... Looking through all the headers in libmotif-dev, only headers from libx11-dev, libxft-dev and libxt-dev are included in header files provided by libmotif-dev, so you could provide a one-stop-shop with only these three extra dependencies. You're the maintainer though, feel free to close this bug if you don't think it's appropriate. Regards, Stephen
