Let me quote Branden on this one

4.2.0.</crass bribe>

Experimental versions of the X packages are available at my repository.

Please test these so that 4.1.0-15 can be a solid release, worthy of the
woody release.  Please direct feedback to the debian-x list.

This was sent to debian-devel in an attempt to get some help testing the
packages so that they will be fit enough for the woody release.  I got
them and they seem stable for me. Anyway, dont expect X 4.2.0 till
woody+1.
