Actually, now is precisely the right time to do this. It had been
requested for a long time, but I had postponed doing this until Lenny
would be close to release, so as to avoid breaking backportability.
Now that Lenny is about to become the stable release, it's no longer
an issue.
Anyhow, it reproduces what the standard XSF scripts do and, yes, very
much needs to be included to enable bin-NMU and automated X server
version bumps.

Replaced by the above transition and necessary to show what happened
between -4 and -7.
