Is this *really* such a good idea? They might be packaged by Debian
maintainers, but despite so many claims to the contrary, Ubuntu isn't
Debian. And so in that way, it could be that the Xorg packages depend on
other libraries of different names, of different versions, etc., that
could well cause conflict.
