Great! I'm having big troubles in getting my packages uploaded. Some
of them wait for sponsor for over a month.

As I said it be great to have one sponsor for all my packages (or at
last sponsor for one of them). You are first who propose to sponsor
further upload.

I'm not sure, but probably this can be removed soon as devfsd is no
longer in unstable.

Not very but while every geek know if his drivers supports DGA, and
can prepare alias for himself including -nodga in command line. This
change is targeted to "normal" users. If they have some nvidia cards
and proprietary drivers xawtv will not start showing mysterious "X
protocol request failed" error. Users are confused by this error and
often asks for solution (i.e. -nodga).
I forgot to add one simple patch and as you know xawtv fail to create
widget. This is fixed now. Also I add a xawtv.NEWS to document
XAWTV_USE_DGA environment variable.
Fixed packaged uploaded to mentors.d.n.
