+To-Do List for XFree86 4.3.0 Release to Debian Unstable
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+1) ensure full synchronicity and up-to-dateness of branches/4.3.0/sid with
+ respect to the trunk;
+2) ensure packages are at least as functional on the architectures in
+ unstable as the 4.2.1 packages are (so that no arch sees a horrendous
+ regression);
+3) split xlibs* and xbase-clients (one package per shared library;
+ xbase-clients should be broken into functional groups probably mostly
+ determined by library dependencies; xauth, the Athena clients, and
+ libGL-linked clients are all good candidates for splitting)
+4) respect Joey Hess; use debconf as intended (no "manage $foo with
+ debconf") questions; move xserver-xfree86 debconfage into an auxiliary
+ utility if necessary (the return of dexter, perhaps as a front end to
+ dexconf?); make dexconf use ucf to merge updates instead of rewriting
+ XF86Config* from scratch every time
+5) find a way to stop the dpkg conffile prompting madness when moving
+ conffiles from xlibs to xlibs-data!
