Circular dependencies in make are not actually bugs (though they do indicate sloppy programming). Alas, the package is really awful. Take a look at the contents of microwindows_0.88pre11.orig.tar.gz if you want to see part of why. AFAICT, microwindows is not in use by any other Debian packages. So it seems to me, that given limited QA time available, I should file a wishlist bug to reorganize the package source, and for now, let #121459 serve to happily keep the package out of woody. If someone wants to fix it, bless them. Thomas
