Corrections:

* XFree86 4.2.x, not 4.x.  Woody has had XFree86 4.x for quite a long
  time.
* I started work on XFree86 4.2.0 packages in January.  I then stopped
  for a while because woody needed my attention; dexconf and the
  xserver-xfree86 configure script went through many iterations in this
  period.

If you're going to defend my actions, first know what they were.  :)
