Package: libwine
Version: 0.9.2-1
Severity: normal

apt-get build-dep wine told me that the build-dependencies of wine-0.9.2-1 
could not be satisfied by the Sarge repository.  Then I looked at 
wine_0.9.2-1.dsc and I discovered that xlibs-dev is set to (<< 4.3).  However 
Debian Sarge has xlibs-dev-4.3, which means that the package xlibs-dev-4.3 
could NOT be used for compiling Sarge backports.  For most of the 
build-dependencies, there are alternative packages which Sarge could satisfy, 
however without xlibs-dev, I have to use libxext-dev, which is NOT available in 
Sarge (this package is only available in etch onwards) and backporting to Sarge 
therefore becomes impossible.  

I noticed that in the previous wine_0.9-1.dsc, xlibs-dev is also specified to 
be << 4.3 (which therefore make Sarge can's use xlibs-dev again), but it does 
not have libxext-dev, therefore the overall build-depencies can still be 
satisfied by the Sarge repository.

Therefore is it possible to set xlibs-dev to "<= 4.3" instead to allow 
Sarge-backporting?  Failing that, is it possible to somehow substitute 
libxext-dev with other packages?
