However, it appears suboptimal to me that there now exist 2 packages which provide the same functionality only differing by the underlying widget library. I'd prefer dropping "xfig-Xaw3d" and "xfig" being built by default against "Xaw3d" which is already required by the new "xdvi" package of "tetex" successor "texlive" scheduled for inclusion into the next release.
