how about:
<p>
The installation of files into subdirectories of
<file>/usr/X11R6/</file>is now prohibited. Include files
should be installed into <file>/usr/include/X11/</file>. For
files that previously would be installed into subdirectories
of <file>/usr/X11R6/lib/</file>, package maintainers should
determine if subdirectories of <file>/usr/lib/</file> and
<file>/usr/share/</file> can be used. If not, a subdirectory
of <file>/usr/lib/X11/</file> should be used.

?
(i.e. not making this specific to the include/X11 and lib/X11
subdirectories, since nothing should use /usr/X11R6 anymore)
