xextensions and xextproto install the same files

$ pkg_which /usr/local/include/X11/extensions/shmstr.h
xextensions-1.0.1_3 xextproto-7.0.2
What gives ?

I've just had a compilation failure for xorg-server because of this.
Apparently the two ports/packages above install different versions of
some header file and xorg-server build expected one from
xextproto-7.0.2, but xextensions-1.0.1_3 was installed.

So,
$ portupgrade -f xextproto-7.0.2
did help, but I wonder why this happened at all.

BTW,
$ pkg_info -r -R xextensions-1.0.1_3
Information for xextensions-1.0.1_3:

Depends on:
Dependency: xproto-7.0.10
Required by:
compositeext-2.0_2
fixesext-2.0.1_2

What are these ? Do I need/want them at all ?

Thanks in advance.
