Thanks for the more specific information.  I classified this package
as "could be better", with the understanding that "could be better"
has a wide area of applicability.  I reserved "dismal" for doing of no
essentially no maintenance at all and failing to meet the minimal
obligations in the Maintainer's Guide (to orphan the package if you
cannot maintain it).

I should have noted that xfree86 is not up-to-date with upstream as
you indicate, and I'm sorry for the oversight.
