If I am not mistaken the X version in debian, despite being 4.3 is more
in the direction of a pre version of 4.4 (just before the license
change).

My guess is that at the moment most distributions are checking where
the wind blows and will probably switch to the X.org server instead of
xfree86 in some time (hopefully before too long).
