Fully agreed.
I have been suffering from needles upgrade problems with every X package
because the Suse server uses /etc/XF86Config and the Debian setup views
that as an error. I've had my FireGL 1000 Pro for more than half a year,
all that time without proper Debian support.
For another very popular Diamond card range it's also good to have the
latest XFree: the Viper 330 and 550. The latter doesn't work without the
latest server, the former has an annoying snow problem with the current
server.
