you have to check that it does not break xorg, did you?
(considering xorg packages from squeeze)

until no one checks that no point in making loud noise.

I didn't and I will check as soon as possible (this means this weekend as I'm going to be away for work this week)

As far as I have understood how vga switcheroo works I think it doesn't break anything in Xorg (the switch is made via echoing in /sys, but the actual switch is performed when restarting Xorg), but you're right this is a thing worth to be checked.
