Uh, you guys are losing me really quickly.

XFree86 3.3.6 and earlier called dpkg-shlibdeps "by hand".

I'm using debhelper for XFree86 4.0.1.  Despite the big major version
number change, only two shared libraries in X have incremented their
version number in the meantime.

XFree86 3.3.6           XFree86 4.0.1

libXext.so.6.3          libXext.so.6.4
libXaw.so.6.1           libXaw.so.6.1
                        libXaw.so.7.0

(Yes, 4.0.1 ships two versions of libXaw.  See
<http://www.debian.org/~branden/MANIFEST>.)

If you guys could tell me what I need to do to manage this transition, I'd
appreciate it.
