As said, feel free to reopen. And, as usual.., are you willing to work on this goal? Also IMO it's not really about integration (yet). First, some general plan and then an implementation needs to be found, maybe within freedesktop.org, maybe not. Then, packages would need to be changed to implement this plan. And then a mass bug filing could be done, if there is consensus on debian-devel@ that this should be done. In the bug report I read no consensus _and_ no activity since 5 years. But, as said, feel free to reopen. regards, Holger
