But it does so incorrectly. Nothing in kmatplot uses libXinerama directly, so kmatplot shouldn't build-depend on a library that's being pulled in via libqt3-mt-dev. The dependencies of libqt3-mt-dev need to be fixed up as a result of the xorg transition; after that, kmatplot should build fine. It would be advisable for kmatplot to update to the Debian libtool 1.5, using the guidelines at <http://people.debian.org/~keybuk/libtool-updating.html>, so that kmatplot doesn't unnecessarily suffer from such build failures in the future; but the transition from libtool 1.4 to libtool 1.5 may not be straightforward, and this is not strictly required.
