I can try and produce a basic X udeb, but I can't handle the gtk/pango/etc
stuff. I'm handling the Xorg server for Debian, and that's really all I
have time to focus on. You'll have to find someone else to do the stuff
that's outside that area. I'll begin working on an Xorg udeb after I
upload the next version of the X.Org packages.
I have another question while we're on the subject. Why are you so focused
on gtkfb? If the X environment works for you, what's the advantage of going
with something that's never really worked all that well in comparsion to
the very well tested Xorg server?
