Bug#654924: Inclusion of TigerVNC sources
wild idea (sorry if I missed that brought up before): since Debian
xorg-server packaging is under git, why not make xorg-server a submodule
pointing to the corresponding (might differ for
wheeze-vs-squeezebackport branches) treeish of
git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server
then it would make it easy to stay up-to-date with Debian packaging
and bug fixes brought up to xorg-server package, reuse their
debian/copyright, and may be even more?
if needed I could take care about rewriting current pkg-tigervnc
eliminating current copy of xorg-server to minimize .git
cons: not sure how well it would play with git-buildpackage, although I
see in its source code some logic to handle submodules, so it might be
all smooth and nice
