Hi Richard!

I could try to submit the patch, but I'm a bit confused. The Launchpad
branch lp:ubuntu/xorg-server seems very outdated (the last revision is 7
months old) and doesn't match the corresponding package versions. What's
the trick? Why ubuntu package versions are not sync'ed with corresponding
Launchpad bzr branches?

Perhaps I should try a NMU to Debian itself instead...
