The problem is that buici-clock installs to /usr/X11R6/bin, which is going
away. This was always a bug in buici-clock, according to policy 11.8.7:
Packages using the X Window System should not be configured to install
files under the `/usr/X11R6/' directory unless they use `imake'. The
`/usr/X11R6/' directory hierarchy should be regarded as deprecated for
all packages except the X Window System itself, and those which use
the `imake' program it provides, in which case the packages may
transition out of the `/usr/X11R6/' directory at the maintainer's
discretion.[1]
But now it's a release-critical bug. See
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/04/msg00010.html>.
It looks like this is a one-line fix to debian/rules.
