and a bunch of other xserver-xorg-video-* packages have the same
problem.

"Some X.Org drivers (packages xserver-xorg-input-* and xserver-xorg-

unstable instead (see sbuild’s bug #559659). If you see packages
with a Depends: on xorg stuff from experimental, do not update and
wait until xorg-server 1.7 moves to unstable."
Perhaps downgrading some packages to their testing versions would be
a way to solve the issue.
Hope it helps

Yes, it helps a great deal. It appears that it will take a while
(probably some weeks?) for this problem to resolve, but at least folks
are aware of it and (presumably) working towards a solution.
For me, for now, I'll just accept the warnings and ignore them, since
hey don't seem to be doing any harm.
Thanks for the insight,
Rick
