No, you are correct, that is woody, not potato. You can get the source
package from woody and compile it for potato, although you might have
to fetch a large number of other packages from woody and compile those for
potato first, depending on the build dependencies that the X source package
has. Alternatively, you should be able to find someone who has already done
this and provided unofficial binaries: try a google search, or similar (iirc
it has been mentioned on debianplanet.org, you could try searching the
older articles there).
