Bug Description

These packages build-depend on obsolete xlibs-dev:

wmacpiload
wmbatteries
wmfortune
xqbiff
xreverse

and they have been removed from Debian "some time ago" (don't know how to check that). Instead of updating the packages they should just be dropped.

As I also couldn't find any sign for this package being sometime in Debian, I've dugged through the old mail archives and found two of the accepted mails for those packages:

wmfortune: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-changes-auto/2005-October/001400.html
> Origin: www.assist.media.nagoya-u.ac.jp-%7Ekatsu-debian/unstable

xqbiff: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-changes-auto/2005-October/001422.html
> Origin: http.debian.or.jp-debian-jp/unstable-jp

I guess the other packages didn't come from Debian either.
