Well, not really. It stops the package from ensuring the system state is

Right. libxt6 is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
That package is not policy-compliant, and needs to be rebuilt using some
modern XFree86 packages. Anything from the past couple of years should
suffice.
Closing this bug as due to problem with unofficial Debian package.
