Yes, sorry for that but xboard 4.8.0 was released just before the freeze
and even if upstream now recommends the gtk interface, the build system
still picks xaw by default. And I forgot about this new interface when I

I've just uploaded the new version to unstable, the debdiff is attached.

Yes, I realize the timing is not good and the change quite substantial
especially considering the freeze. Thank you.
