Yeah, it's tricky due to all the abi version dependencies. The X team
just pushed xserver 1.10 into natty two days ago, so I'm recreating
packages that are based on it. This will make things work much better. I
hope to have it all available in the ppa in a day or two.

When you are ready to do so, we'll review your debian packaging to
ensure it looks right. Once all the fixes are made for the packaging,
we'll upload the packages for you.
