Backporting was pretty much straight forward: Drop the "multi-arch" lines
from debian/control, fix the debian/*.install files wrt "usr/lib/*/something"
and resolve the missing dependencies, first looking at the existing
repositories, or by doing the backport.
Next I have installed these packages on my Squeeze Laptop. Intel graphics
was fine. The external beamer was detected. I got the appropriate monitor
config gui (in KDE). After setting the orientation of both screens the
external display was integrated.
On disconnecting the beamer the dialog came up again.
Seems to work. But of course I don't have access to all the
hardware to verify all video drivers. It was just a very brief
test.

Do you think it would be possible to upgrade the existing packages
in debian-backports using the packages I have built?
