We're on it!!  The debs that came from alpha.gnu.org are not fully safe anyway
because they were unsigned during the gnuftp crack.

Guillem is almost done setting up the new repository, the address being:

  http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian

In a short while we'll have coreutils and other stuff there. Please tell me
what else are you missing.

As for Xfree86, I'm working on it, too (yesterday I attempted my first build).
