 yes.

 ... but it was built against older versions of the xserver-xorg
libraries, wasn't it?

 so you don't *actually* know if it's suitable for use with the newer
xserver-org libraries, do you?

and, you also don't know if any modifications have been made to the
xserver-xorg API (which have been *assumed* to have not been made), do
you?

 you - nor anybody else - knows if it will actually compile against
the newer xserver-xorg libraries, do they?

 so will you please kindly trust my experience and judgement and
proceed with the build?

 if it fails to build, then the bugreport can be raised.  if it works,
then a bugreport saying "this succeeded, please could someone do a
re-build of the packaging", yes?
