No, he just says that libxine1-x is not going away, only libxine1's
dependency on it. We require libxine1-x, but only depended on libxine1;
and that would break after the libxine1-x dependency has been removed
from libxine1.

Using dh_xine instead of depending on libxine1-x allows us to easily
switch to xine 1.2 where the package is called libxine2-x (due to ABI
breakage); without requiring a new source upload.
