Bug Description

The package description for the libxt-* packages says:

 libXt provides the X Toolkit Intrinsics, an abstract widget library upon
 which other toolkits are based. Xt is the basis for many toolkits, including
 the Athena widgets (Xaw), and LessTif (a Motif implementation).

Lesstif was abandoned after Motif was open sourced in 2012, and indeed the Lesstif library is no longer packaged in either Debian or Ubuntu as Lesstif-using packages have been updated to link to motif (libxm4). Please remove mention of Lesstif.
