I don't understand. You seem to be saying that the headers you need are not in the package, but also are in the package. "the source package needs some X headers not included in xlibs-dev" and "I'd set build dependency on xlibs-dev and compile against its headers" Also, what do you mean by "mainstream package"? > Another option could be to create another xfree86-driver-dev to let > external drivers compile. Which solution? I think the headers in question will probably end up in the xfree86-driver-ddk package, which is slated for development after 4.3.0-1 is released. -- G.
