Well, I'm afraid I have to reopen this bug.  It turns out that it was never
really an xaw3dg bug at all: emacs21 build-depends only on xaw3dg-dev, but
expects to find X11/Xaw/Paned.h, which has never been shipped by xaw3dg-dev
but only incidentally dragged in by a (wrong) dependency on libxaw7-dev.

Perhaps xaw3dg-dev should actually be installing its own headers as
X11/Xaw/*, I don't know; but in practice this is not the interface that
Xaw3d provides, upstream or in Debian, so emacs21 needs to either include
X11/Xaw3d/* instead of X11/Xaw/, or build-depend on libxaw7-dev.
