[Bug 524148] [NEW] onboard has overactive dependencies

[Emmet Hikory]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: onboard

onboard, by depending on libxi-dev and libx11-dev pulls in a host of
development libraries that are not required to run the package.  The
change claims to fix bug #523987 and bug #523554 , which it does, but
indirectly.  The package should properly only depend on libxi6 and
libx11-6, but do so in a way that automatically selects the correct ABI
based on the callers.  It may be that 523987 and 523554 are not actually
bugs in onboard, although expressed in onboard.
