Always use debian/rules! If you're interested in what it is doing, simply
read the debian/rules file :-)

Unless you're a maintainer, don't bother to upload it. IN any case, I
suspect the new libc may require another bout of recompilations.

Well, you could try grabbing the X source and compiling yourself, if you
have 500MB of free disk space. However, I don't know if Branden will have
kept the sparc-specific changes current in his recent X reorganisation.
Personally, I'm waiting for our pseudo-maintainer, Anders Hammerquist (sp?)
to recompile, or someone to step up in his place (I don't have the disk
space, or the CPU time), and meanwhile I'm keeping my X packages on hold.
