This is horribly late. And knowing about the details would be a must at
this point anyway (… but well, yes, we remember the libaudit fiasco).

As {a,the} maintainer of the X server, I wouldn't enjoy having to deal
with possible audit-related breakages when trying to polish the X server
and the X drivers for wheezy.
All in all, I think “far too late” is likely to be everyone's answer.
See last paragraph of:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/05/msg00004.html
And it's been repeatedly announced we would likely freeze in June…
Mraw,
KiBi.
