I think it's going to be a two steps "operation":

- we'll first use what's already available in the Debian archives, which means
  everything _except_ cairo-dfb and gtk+-directfb_2.8.17 (we need debs and udebs
  from the package maintainers)

- once gtk+ 2.10 will be officially out upstream, the debian-gnome team will ship
  the *-directfb packages along with the standard ones and we'll finally be aligned.

It's been a very long process (which is not finished yet) but I think once we'll get
there directfb and all the libraries based on it will receive alot of of attention / bug
reports and fixes. Everything was worth the effort indeed!

Denis, be prepered to be stressed out by me asking for help with dfbterm :)

Ciao,
Davide
