Title:
  Please make a sru of xserver-xorg-video-dummy with the constant-dpi
  patch

Status in xserver-xorg-video-dummy package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  See

  https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/163#comment:25

  It is impossible to reliably set the dpi with xdummy otherwise.  This means that applications relying on xdummy (such as some
  remote desktop apps and notably xpra), do not work well with the xdummy shipped in ubuntu.

  A package with the relevant fix is available at
  https://launchpad.net/~callegar/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

  The patch is not at all invasive.
