In fact, I won't do that, because that means circular dependencies:
xfconf depends on libxfconf-x-y
libxfconf-x-y depends on xfconf

which is bad. But I'll add a dependency info on the libxfconf-x-dev
package, which means that whenever you build against it and thus get a
dependency on the corresponding libxfconf-x-y package, you'll have a
dependency on xfconf too.
