Huh?? You mean, I can't find the problem when following only one of

dependencies?
Yes, _in general_, because some problems like this only manifest
themselves with certain combinations of packages.
I guess you don't have to tell me that prove by example is a no no.. ;)
Or e.g. you could also try something simple as
# apt-get -u -t unstable install xterm
This directly leads to the broken dependency on xlibs!
Good idea, does this yield more information?
# apt-get -u -t unstable install xterm
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
xterm: Depends: xlibs (> 4.2.0) but 4.1.0-16 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
This could be the reason why it wouldn't upgrade xlibs automatically;
it still doesn't tell why it needs to install these for upgrading
xlibs though, maybe some versioned dependency.
Which means what?
I don't know. :( All this fuss and none the wiser. Keep digging, good
luck. :)
True. True.
Should I file a bug?
