Hi Maintainer

The lesstif2 package on which your package depends or build-depends is 
destined to be removed from the archive before the release of Jessie.  
More information can be found in the Debian wiki [1].

Please update your package to build against the motif package instead.  
In most cases this can be done by simply replacing the build-depends on 
lesstif2-dev with libmotif-dev, however please do verify proper 
behaviour before uploading.

Your package appears to have no dependent packages and to only depend on 
glw which also needs to be transitioned.

We have checked for ABI changes in libglw using icheck which reported no 
differences.  We have also run xmakemol-gl compiled with lesstif2 
together with libglw compiled with motif, as well as xmakemol-gl 
compiled with motif together with libglw compiled with lesstif2 and did 
not encounter any problems.

Regards
Paul and Graham
