Hi,
just to let you know a bit in advance, the following packages should
be mostly ready to transition in like a week:
- pixman
- libdrm
- mesa
- xorg-server
- xorg
- many many too many xserver-xorg-{input,video}-*
As “usual” it's pretty much self-contained. The worrying bits are:
- pixman's bug: #613221 (http://bugs.debian.org/613221)
Probably not a bug in pixman actually, but GNUstep's having
troubles with it at run-time. According to Yavor[1], breaking
GNUstep in testing should be acceptable (he's one of the GNUstep
maintainers).
- pixman itself: it seemed to me that upstream snapshots were sane
enough to go to unstable, which upstream confirmed[2].
- xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: It needs a kernel >= 2.6.34 as
documented in its README.Debian, so having it in testing without a
matching kernel will cause some issues to nouveau users. They can
still switch to the fbdev driver until the kernel is ready. I'm not
really keen on having X stack's testing migration wait on the
kernel. Neither am I happy to annoy nouveau users. But well,
nouveau developers like to believe they have no users. :(

If that's OK with you, I'll just downgrade the severity of the pixman
bug to important (until it's investigated, probably through the
upstream bug report), and not (re)open a bug against the nouveau
driver.
KiBi.
