If so that's a pretty serious bug. But I can't see how that could
happen in an etch->lenny upgrade, so any details (preferrably in a bug
report against xserver-xorg) would be appreciated.

We've stopped setting the depth in xorg.conf about a year ago. Which
makes the driver responsible for picking the depth. Unfortunately the
suncg6 driver doesn't seem to do that quite right; we have a fix sitting
in git since November 2007, but it looks like that was never uploaded.
*sigh*. I'll try to get that fixed, thanks for pointing it out.
Cheers,
