Bug#201734: What is the status of ATI FireGL/Radeon driver deb packages?

["AKL. Mantas Kriauciunas" <mantas@akl.lt>]

Hi,

Lots of people needs proprietary ATI FireGL/Radeon driver these days,
because open source DRI driver doesn't support new ATI hardware (9500 or
newer). In new interview with Terry Makedon from ATi I've read, that
"We have good relationships with the Major vendors. [..] SuSE, Gentoo (and
soon Debian) repackage our drivers for use within their distributions."
( whole article is here: http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ2 )

According to Terry Makedon from ATi, Debian will soon repackage ATI
drivers, but I didn't found any official debian packages, only
unofficial packages here:

Maybe there are some plans to move these packages to debian ? At least
into debian experimental if these packages are not good enough quality.
