I don't understand. Just because the Imake rules builders change, why
does that mean that X has to be rebuilt? It's not like we're changing
locations of files or anything? AFAIK, it's just going to be a
convenience for debian X package maintainers. So when they do 'make
makefiles' or 'xmkmf -a' they actually get makefiles which conform to
local policy.
I heartily agree that the local Imake rules should conform to policy, and
agree this bug should be filed.
